Switch or Plug shim/spacer

thingiverse

I needed a custom shim to elevate wall plugs and switches to the right height, so I designed one instead of driving to a hardware store and searching for it. Since I couldn't find what I was looking for online, I created this customizable design that you can tailor to your specific needs. This simple design allows you to adjust the shim depth by modifying the "thickness" variable in the OpenScad file. Printing at 30% infill takes just four minutes to produce two shims. The first image shows a plug recessed too far, the second shows it unscrewed for easy shim placement, and the third reveals the finished product with the plug at its proper height.
