Switch Wallplate Guide Cover – Henry Lam
The item that I measured with calipers was a simple one-gang switch wallplate. On Thingiverse, I came across an addon cover for a switch wallplate that prevents the switch from being used. I used that STL file as a template and made an addon cover that simply keeps goes around the switch to make it a more deliberate action. I have a habit of hitting(turning on) switches when I enter a room, and quite often these switches are not connected to lights, but are already on and connected to running machines.
