Wire cover

<p>My mother-in-law had her kitchen done and some new light fittings mounted. The connection wasn't that nice and I offered to design a nice cover.</p> <p>After a lot of trial and error, including learning OpenSCAD, I came up with this.</p> <p>You mount the base plate with some screws to the wall. The lamp fitting will fit in the large hole. Make sure you have it printed with good layer adhesion or you will end up with things like on the last photo.</p> <p>You slide the cover up from below, as you probably don't have room at the top. The cover has a little nudge that rests on the base plate. Be sure to test if it holds.</p> <p>It isn't smooth or very detailed, but that fits perfectly with the house as it's an old farmhouse. Nothing is smooth or straight.</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Creality</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>CR-10S</p></div><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.2 mm</p> <p><p class="detail-setting infill"><strong>Infill: </strong> <div><p>20%</p></div><br/> <strong>Filament:</strong><br/> Das Filament PLA White <br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong> </p><div><p>The cover might need a brim.</p> You might even want to print it on the front or back. That gives a more prominent nudge.</div></p> <p>Test the strength of the base plate before you using it.</p> <h3> How I Designed This</h3> <p><strong>Learning OpenSCAD</strong></p> <p>This was my first real try in developing something in OpenSCAD. I am learn-by-copying kind of guy, so I collected all kinds of designs and learned how they did solve things like the chamfer to slide the cover on.</p> </p></p></p> Category: Decor
