Plate for Inline Ikea Light Switch

thingiverse

I've got a hanging light from Ikea with an inline switch, but every time I want to turn it on, I'm forced to fumble around for it in the dark. It would be so much better if the switch were fixed in one spot where I could quickly flip it without having to grasp the entire cord. In Tinkercad, I designed a full-size replica of the switch box and cord, then created my plate and cord holding clamps based on that design. I made sure the cord was easy to press into place and remove, and that the plate could sit flat on the desk or be screwed securely into the wall. Feel free to use this design as is, remix it to fit your needs, or share it with others who might appreciate it!
