Light and Socket Switch Guard UK

Light and Socket Switch Guard UK Designed for UK light switches and plug sockets as a simple way to prevent accidental switching off. I am using these for a couple of plug sockets and light switches so that they are always on. Affix to switch using double sided tape. Gap in the middle allows for accessing the switch with a toothpick or bank card etc when required. Additional 1mm bar around the edge for additional strength (and I prefer the look) Simple design in OpenSCAD meaning most settings are customisable. 32mm long and 6mm deep is sufficient clearance for most switches however onef older light switches has required 7mm clearance hence the 7mm version also attached. If the gap was removed could be rotated 90 degrees and printed in it's side. Printed with supports at 0.2mm resolution. Other levels may work but untested as this would result in fewer layers. v2 - Added option to add in strengthening corners / enclosed sides. Shouldn't be needed but can be used to make everything a little stronger. Also in retrospect printing after rotating 90 degrees so lying on side may also give stronger prints. My first model built using OpenSCAD so not the neatest or most efficient code but it works. Hopefully this is useful for anyone else.
