WallPlate Replacements

I created the entire range of standard North American style wall plates as part of my WallPlateMate accessory system so I thought I might as well post the generic plates in case someone wants to print a replacement or wants to change the colour of their wall plates.  These are all for North American style wall plates but I have wallplates for other regions around the world in the works.  I will post those as soon as possible.

I don’t think there is too much that needs to be said about these. They are all simply replacement to the standard North American style wall plate. Print them in any colour or material of your choosing. Unscrew the old plate and screw on this new plate!

IMPORTANT: As the wall plates of switch and electrical outlets are considered part of a flame enclosure it is important to use a flame retardant / self-extinguishing filament when printing parts to be used in electrical applications. There is a listing of some suitable filaments here and also here.

It is worth noting that I am working on wall plates for other regions around the world and will post those as soon as they are ready.

20240507 Update: I have also posted blank versions of these wall plates here.

Printing

Material: I choose to use PETG for its durability and flexibility but I am confident you can print these in any material you like.

My Setup:
Nozzle = 0.4mm

My Settings:
Layer height = 0.2mm
Line width = 0.4mm
Wall count = 4 (1.6mm)
Infill = 40%
Ironing = ON

Support:
Designed to print without support.

Print Orientation: All plates are designed to be printed face down on the build plate.

Assembly Notes

No assembly or post-print processing is required.

Where to Get My STL Files

Thangs.com

I am now posting all of my new designs on Thangs.com and plan to continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Some of my older designs may not have been migrated over yet so if they are not available on Thangs.com please check on Thingiverse.

Use, Licensing, Comments and Feedback

My primary distribution site for my design files is Thangs.com. Thangs.com is, in my opinion, leading the way in promoting designers and competition amongst designers which in turn fuels the growth of high-quality 3d printable designs for the benefit of our entire community. However, as a result, some of my designs are only available for free for 1 week from when first posted, so please download them when you see a new file available that you are interested in. Also, please like and save to help me with the competitions.

I do not permit the use of my designs for commercial purposes (i.e. you can not sell my design(s) or products printed from my design(s)) without first acquiring a commercial license from me. On Thangs.com I offer membership accounts for access to all my design files as well as a membership for commercial licensing which allows subscribers to sell printed products using my designs.

I welcome comments and feedback as we as requests for customization of designs. I will do my best to accommodate those requests.

      oh, sorry, I did not realize that. Which link did you try? I think the ones on thangs are working fine. Can you try this… https://than.gs/m/1057934

      The blanks were added to this listing after the fact so they may be separate from the other STLs.
