Wall Socket Cover

Updates

9th June 2020: Added 03 more designs with different dimensions and improved strength/printing time.

19th May 2020: I will be posting the enhanced version this week which has much better legs strength for cover and reduced printing time.

Inspiration

Our living room TV wall was complete except 2 ugly sockets right next to the TV. I always wanted to cover them with something which can blend in and adds a dimension to the wall. I couldn't find anything available in market. So my wife came up with this idea of designing and printing a box with beautiful pattern on the cover - it turned out great!


Dimensions

There are 04 different sizes available. Please note that these are inner dimensions of each box. You need to measure the socket width and height as shown in pictures and then choose appropriate box. Make sure you leave atleast 2mm margin. For example if your socket measures 85mm x 80mm you should use the base with 88mm x 88mm.

A. For Single Socket
Width = 88mm, Height = 88mm, Depth = 35mm
