Plug in a plug (Type M)

Description

I Made This Design Because In My Kitchen I Have One More Appliance Than I Have Plug In Space. So, I Decided To Modify A Normal (Type M) 3-Prong-Plug That I Had Lying Around To Allow Another Appliance To Plug Into (On Top) Of It. Theoretically You Could Endlessly Stack These Onto Each Other, And I Don'T Know Why This Isn'T A Thing Yet... More Likely Than Not, You Won'T Be Able To Use Exactly The Same Design As I Have Here - Because Plugs Come In All Different Shapes And Sizes, But At Least There Is Something To Work Off Of. Note: The Only Thing I Had To Print Was The "Cover.Stl". The Remaining Parts Were All Already Part Of The Plug That I Modified. I Suggest You Buy A Similar Plug And Work Around The Shape It Has. For The Terminals On The Inside I Used Parts From A Old Multi-Plug I Had Lying Around And A 9Mm Bullet Casing For The Earth Pin... Which I Cut A Slot Into So It Would Part When Pushing The Top Most Plug Into It. Initially I Wanted To Make The Plug As Safe As Can Be, But It Was Just More Effort Than I Was Willing To Put Into It (I.E. Making A Revolving Mechanism That Works With A Torsion Spring To Close The Holes When Nothing Is Plugged In) But Because The Pins I Used On The Inside Cant Be Reached Without A Tool I Didn'T Bother With It Anymore.
