UK PLUG SOCKET TOP HALF v0.18.5

thingiverse

*** UNDER CONSTRUCTION *** I've been unable to find anywhere that has modelled a plug socket with pins, allowing for the comfortable installation of a DIY Arduino & Bluetooth PCB inside the housing and space for a Bluetooth antenna to protrude from the side... ***==~~~>>> PLUS*** I've looked at various off-the-shelf plug socket housings in UK markets, but as is often the case in my life, the thing I want doesn't exist yet! and so... This will be a Modular UK BS 1363 Plug Socket 240v Outlet with safety shutting/shutters added to make it a DIY Arduino-Bluetooth (HC-05/HC06) APP Controllable Plug Socket. *** Deciding whether to create a row of sockets or connectable square ones. So, this is a work in progress, adding parts as and when I have the energy and time for, so please bear with me on this one! *** Also, so far, all I have working is an Alfawise W10 (M)SLA 405nm UV Resin Printer to make these parts, so at this time, the 1-Plug-Socket Square's will be modelled up first. But I'll need it to be able to print out of ABS or any other high heat resilient plastic via a filament 3D Printer. However, I'm going to use the (M) SLA Printer First for the Prototype :). This will also be controlled by a Bluetooth app made with APP INVENTOR :) *** UNDER CONSTRUCTION *** *** The Security Shutters appear to have the same design for both the top pin and the two lower pins of the socket. So, I envision this as a lamp plugging into an 'adapter', then the adapter plugs into the wall, using either self-printed or cannibalized items from very cheap 2-way Plug splitters, see photos... A rough Arduino code has been written/made with the APP INVENTOR Browser software and is in testing with a relay circuit so far, born out of LAZY necessity ( ! ) so that my ma doesn't need to reach into difficult spaces to turn on a lamp lol *** *** EDIT 2:*** The gaping hole in the top cover is for a 16mm illuminated latching power-symbol switch so it can be manually turned on and off as well as Bluetooth controllable :). Also - Quick Update to v0.18.5
