WALLY - Wall Plate Customizer

Description

Customizer Challenge Contest Winner - Useful Category Update V1.3: Added 3 Plate Sizes "Standard", "Junior-Jumbo", And "Jumbo". If You'Ve Got A Larger Hole In Your Wall These May Help. So Here It Is, My First Model Designed In Openscad. I Found Something That Would Really Benefit From Being A Parametrically Designed Model: Wall Plates. I'Ve Created A Openscad Model That Allows You To Pick From A List Of 18 Types Of Connector/Outlet Style Which Then Generates A 3D Model Correctly Oriented And Modeled To Be Immediately 3D Printed. So What Options Did I Include In This File? Well I’Ve Allowed The User To Pick Any Width From 1 To 5 €Œplates” Wide. These Were Measured Off The Standard Electrical Box Sizes And Should Match Screw Holes In Your Existing Boxes. The List Of Available Plug And Outlet Styles Is Listed Below: 1. Blank Port 2. Toggle Switch (Takes Up Entire Plate) 3. Duplex Outlet (Takes Up Entire Plate) 4. Rocker/Designer Plate (Takes Up Entire Plate) 5. Keystone Jack 6. Vga Port 7. Hdmi Port 8. Dvi-I Port 9. Displayport 10. Cat5E/Cat6 Port 11. Usb-A Port 12. Usb-B Port 13. Firewire Ieee 1394 Port 14. Db-09 Port 15. Ps2 Port 16. F-Type/Coaxial Port 17. S-Video Port 18. Stereo Headphone Jack With The Exception Of #2-4 All Of The Plug Types Are Modular And Be Placed On The Top, Bottom, Or Centered On A Generated Wall Plate. All Of The Ports (Excluding The Outlets And Keystone Jacks) Are Designed To Accommodate Datapro.Net’S Panel-Mount Cables. I Asked A Mathlete Friend Of Mine If He Could Calculate The Possible Number Of Plug And Plate Combinations And Well, The Number Is Big, Real Big. He Estimates That You Can Generate A Total Of 850,789,801,599 Possible Permutations. Making This Possibly One The Most Customizable Objects Currently On Thingiverse. If You'D Like To Check His Math Here'S Some Nerdy Details: Http://Thenewhobbyist.Com/Wall_Plates.Txt Also I'Ve Included More Details And A Few Additional Pictures In A Blog Post Here: Http://Thenewhobbyist.Com/2013/02/Designing-With-Parameters/ Change Log: Update V1.1: Stopped By Home Depot And Picked Up Some Wall Plates To Make A Few Corrections (Thanks 3Dsteve). I Corrected The Screw Locations On The "Toggle", "Outlet", And "Designer/Rocker" Plates. If You'Ve Generated One Of These You May Want To Re-Generate It. Update V1.2: Added "Long Toggle Switch" For Laird. Update V1.3: Added 3 Plate Sizes "Standard", "Junior-Jumbo", And "Jumbo". If You'Ve Got A Larger Hole In Your Wall These May Help.
