IKEA Trådfri Tradfri Dimmer Eljo Light Switch Plate

thingiverse

We've recently invested in some dimmer buttons from the IKEA Trådfri series, and wanted the buttons to be mounted where the real lamp switches were located. My requrements were that the mounting should be unintrusive, and try to use the fastening method that the original rocker switches use. So I just copied the rocker switch from an assembled switch. After a couple of versions (4, to be exact) I got a version that snaps into place with a satisfying click! As an added bonus, the dimmer is still detachable for easy access to the battery, as well as moving the dimmer button around. The two square nubs on on the top and bottom of the buttons are spacers to prevent the plate from rocking. They can be a smidge taller than they are, since there's a small rocking motion still. You barely notice it, but if it annoys you, the FreeCAD-file is included. I did not make the model completely parametric, but the ambition was there from the outset. I just failed to follow through :) Don't forget to document makes of this thing! I would appreciate it!
