I have these two 3-way switches on the handlebar.
These Chinese switches work, but I don't like how they look on a bicycle.
Are there any alternatives? They should be water-protected and mounted on the handlebar. Nice if they would require less space than those two.
 
I don't know their specifics, but this

shows a few that look different; maybe one of them will do better?

If you want to make something custom, then any 3 position on-off-on switch will work, like mini-toggle switches.
 
Ideal would be two waterproof 3way mini toggle switches on a bicycle handle bar mount.
Any ideas how to make this?
 
I am actually thinking about buying a 3D printer :D

Do you print them in ABS or PLA?
 
ABS is trickier to print but will hold up better outside. Especially from heat. PLA would probably be ok outside if it was a lighter color and not contained within a box where heat could build up.
 
This us what I'm using. Each switch is On - Off - On. I use these for high and low beam and on/off for the 12v subsystem. So I'm only using five of the six positions.
