Lego Compatible Light Switch and Outlet Plates -- Standard and Decora
Published 2018-07-03T13:50:09+00:00
After searching the web up and down for different styles of Lego Compatible Switch Plates, I was never able to find one that didn't need modification w/ scale, had more than one switch in either standard or decora.
I finally decided to model my own, all from the ground up using schematics from Leviton branded switch and outlet covers and this is what I came up with.
These are available in the following styles
- Standard 1-Gang
- Standard 2-Gang
- Standard 3-Gang
- Standard 4-Gang
- Decora 1-Gang
- Decora 2-Gang
- Decora 3-Gang
- Outlet (Duplex) 1-Gang
They have been printed on both my Robo R1+ and Original Prusa MK2 numerous times with no issues. Sometimes 1x1 bricks may not be the most secure but anything 2x2 and larger holds great to the plates!
Sliced using both Simplify3D and Slic3r PE.
Better results seem to come out of Simplify3D as there is more control over the supports and how they are built.
I typically print these all with the pegs facing upwards and support material in the cavity. I found that using a 0-degree and 90-degree support in S3D, I can get a square pattern that is easier to remove with a thin spatula when the print is completed (pattern can be observed in the pictures being printed on my Prusa MK2).
