Philips HUE dimmer switch cover adapter for ELKO

thingiverse

This is a remix of the "Philips HUE Dimmer Switch Wall Adapter" by jiroenu. As the ELKO switch I have in my house doesn't run completely flush with the wall the original design didn't work. I still liked the design by jiroenu so I did some small modifications to fit my ELKO type (Norway). I extruded the cover slightly, but also added a feature in order to keep the switch housing in place as 50% of my switches came loose when I removed the screws and was no longer secured to the wall. Simply use a pair of pliers to snip off the "pegs" as needed, in order push the switch back in place. You also might need longer screws than the original ones, as this design sticks further out from the wall than the old Elko switch. I've tried to lower the holes for the screws as a counteraction. Basically it depends on the length of the screws that are being used. Funny thing is that 2 of my switches had short screws for some reason. Tip: I used linear supports, rather than treelike, to save print time but more importantly that the removal of the supports was much easier and left a smoother surface. Hardly any need for sanding before installing the cover. This is a remix from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:398515
