This is the 89^th re-upload of the design as the former versions were delisted due to abusive individuals exploiting Thingiverse's 'Report' feature. __Apologies as I am not reposting to keep it in the current/newest list.__ <font color='red'>To those who wish to add this model to a collection, opt to download instead. If it gets delisted, it disappears from your collection.</font> Designed for a single-gang (1-gang) United States outlet wall electrical box from the big box stores. This has alignment tabs to mate with the blue outlet boxes nicely. Earlier versions of this model had an alignment ridge around the entire perimeter (over-engineered for safety?) but it didn't seem necessary and increased print time (JPEG photos are of that first generation model). STL doesn't have the full perimeter alignment ridge (rather just the tabs). You'll likely need longer screws. **Depth Adjustment** Open the Fusion 360 model and adjust the _extensionDepth_ user parameter to adjust it for your situation. Sorry, I didn't feel like fighting with the Customizer. **Older Brown Electrical Boxes** I had some older dark brown plastic boxes in the house that were slightly shorter in the vertical dimension. For proper fitment, I used a wallboard knife to trim/remove the extender's top and bottom alignment tabs slightly so it would mate flush. **Print Settings** PLA, .2mm, 10% infill, no rafts
