Wall Electrical Box Blank Plate - Extremely Flat

thingiverse

This is a custom cover for a standard US single-wall box. I use it to store old audio and video cables, but I want to hang items on the wall without the old plate getting in the way. I needed a super flat blank plate that I could paint over so it would be much more hidden than the standard thicker 5mm thick plate. The thinnest design I came up with is just 0.5mm thick. According to the Home Depot website, my design is a replacement for their thicker "1-Gang Midway Blank Nylon Wall Plate". Caution: Don't use this design to cover boxes containing high voltages or high power. For safety reasons, always use regulatory approved equipment as required in your area. I provide two models: 1) Flat face - This is the model I ultimately used. It has a completely flat face that's 0.5mm thick when measured from the wall surface. Printed in PETG, this print is somewhat flexible and not suitable if you're concerned about something jamming into the plate. It prints face down. 2) Rounded (or sloped) face - This model is 1.6mm thick when measured from the wall surface. It's more rigid than the other model. This prints face up. Both models are 69mm wide and 114mm tall.
