This is a wall plate for standard-sized toggle dimmer switches. There are options for 1 gang, 2 gang, and 3 gang wall plates. Each size has options for all of the switches to be dimmable or only certain ones.
Hardware Needed
2 M3 x 6mm screws per switch with dimmer
Printing Instructions
The wall plate easily prints with the front of the plate flat on the print bed. If the texture of your print bed is an issue, it can be printed face up using supports.
The slide connector should be printed with the bracket side up and needs supports under the bracket.
A slider and slide connector will need to be printed for each dimmable switch.
Assembly Instructions
Line the slide connector up so that the bracket is sticking out of the hole for the switch, and the two screw holes are in line with the opening that the slider will go over.
Line up the holes on the back of the slider with the holes on the slide connector and screw in both screws.
Tighten the screws so that the slide connector is flat against the back of the wall plate and adjust to the desired amount of resistance.
Installation Instructions
Install the same way as a typical wall plate and ensure that the bracket on the slide connector is lined up with the dimmer on the toggle switch.
