<h2>Updates</h2> 9th June 2020: Three additional designs featuring different dimensions and improved strength/printing time have been added. 19th May 2020: An enhanced version will be posted this week, boasting legs with increased strength for better cover and reduced printing time. <h2>Inspiration</h2> <font size="16">Our living room TV wall was complete except for two unsightly sockets right next to the television. I always wanted to cover them up with something that could blend in seamlessly and add a dimension to the wall. However, I couldn't find anything available on the market that met my requirements. My wife then came up with the idea of designing and printing a box with a beautiful pattern on its cover - it turned out perfectly!</font> <h2>Dimensions</h2> There are four different sizes available. Please note that these measurements represent the inner dimensions of each box, so you need to measure the socket width and height as shown in the pictures and then choose the appropriate box size. Be sure to leave at least a 2mm margin. For example, if your socket measures 85mm x 80mm, you should use the base with 88mm x 88mm. <b>A.
