UK vertical plug adaptor

prusaprinters

BackgroundI bought a sofa that gets in the way of the only outlet on that side of the room, and thus I needed to raise up the oulet a few inches. I modeled the interior after Dominic Notman's plug model and built a case around it.ConstructionHardwareIn addition to the print, you will need:a fused UK plug (I got mine from Tesco)An unfused 2 way 2 gang adaptor (B&Q's Diall brand was specifically what I used); a 3 way adaptor should have the same internal metalwork but it might not.A short length of 3 core power cable (I cannibalized an old power strip)Soldering ironPrintingThis is a fairly straight-forward print; the version shown in the images was done in Gentleman's Grey PLA, 0.2 layer height with a 0.4 nozzle.AssemblyDisassemble the 2 way adaptor and remove the metalwork. Break off the non-grounded pins (the rivet should pop out fairly easily) and cut the ground pin (see drawing).Disassemble the plug and transfer the metalwork to the base of the print.Wire the plug side and solder the wires to their counterpartsUse the three screws from the plug to connect the base to the topOther notesThe wall wart is thin enough that you can fit two on a standard outlet. The cutouts on the side allow for the old-style toggle switches to fit, but I tested on newer outlets and it works there as well.
