That's amazing! I used an L bracket in about the same location. Did you share that file anywhere, or can I get it? I would love to print one.
I have a few versions of it on the Shapeways marketplace (with/without mic mount, Ford upfitter switches, blank for custom switches, etc.). They have a lot of thin, intermittent features on the back side that do not lend well to extrusion printing, so I found SLS printing to be a much higher quality part albeit more expensive. You can view and rotate the models on Shapeways as well.
 
How difficult was that to install? Any major drilling? I am looking at that switch box and am having trouble deciding between mounting it there or near the A-pillar
No major drilling, interior wires were ran through existing grommet near the steering column then sealed back with black RTV sealant. For the interior switch, I drilled a hole in the back plastic. There is a support beam dead center so the hole has to be offset. But it was plastic and easy to drill. Very easy install in my opinion.

I noticed the Shapeways listing for your model has been taken down, and I was wondering if there’s any way you could post the file somewhere else so I can pay for and download it? I’ve been looking for a solution like this, and it would be a huge help!
 
View attachment 483455 Thats where I mounted mine. First 2 switches are for the 4 round lights on the roll bar ( 2 lights per switch ) Middle 2 are not used at this time. The 5th one is lights under roll bar facing rearward and last switch is for the rear bumper LED's. Took a little while to do but it is a clean install.
would like to see these "rear bumper LED's" you speak of.
