I was travelling to Spain and had a plug adaptor I was going to throw in my carry-on bag. But the European plug side has prongs that stick out and can snag on my bag, damage other items, or even cause injury. I created this cap to protect the pins and my bag.
Note that the CEE 7/7 standard specifies nominal pin size and spacing. But I have found that there's a lot of "slop" in actual devices, with measured pin size and spacing being quite variable. The sizes in this model worked for my device; it might not work for yours!
I recommend you print this in TPU so that it's flexible and can conform to small differences in sizes To make this model work with other plugs with different measurements, I have also included the original Fusion 360 .f3d file with named parameters that you can tweak so it fits your actual device.
I printed mine with a .4mm nozzle, .2mm layer height, 3 perimeters, and 15% infill. It worked great for me.
Good luck, and I'd love to see your prints!
