Electrical box decora plate filler and fusion 360 file

thingiverse

Filler plate for electrical box, for an open gang position, decorator plate oppening. I saw a couple online here, but tried them, and slightly over/undersize, so i created one in fusion 360, file attached. NOTE, the tabs at top do NOT have noles in them. reason, the holes and breakof tabs are designed as extra washers for spacers if the electrical box is not in the drywall correectly, so i did not add the holes. i guess i could add them.... in any event, the fusion 360 file is here also. SO,, thiss plate could be modified to add network jacks, other openings, etc, and still be able to be fastened to an electrical box. any feedback is appreciated. thanks to all the other thingiverse designers of similar inserrts. prints without supports, but i used a raft because my printer does not do corners wwell if no raft. NOTE - edited this after printing. sides now 36 mm wide instead of 40; it had a slight overhang inside the electrical plate. also, increased filet on corners to 2 mm instead of 1 mm, looks better. Also, the screw from the electrical plate, into the top/bottom hole - it fits, but first thread this by itself, before mounting it onto the box, because it takes some slight force to thread the screw. NOTE-2 i added the decora-plate-fill-border. this shows the center as removed. the CENTER,using fusion 360, or if anybody wants to use this in the SCAD program, could make custom centers for this for network plugs, round outlet holes for coax, etc. the ADVANTAGE if that is done, is that you don't have to print a whole custom receptacle plate, you could just design the decora CENTER PIECE (much less printing), and then just get blank decora receptacle plates, as these are easily available and inexpensive, and come in 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, gang plates. anyway, you are welcome to experiment with this.
