Philips Hue Cover for UK Light Switch (customisable)

thingiverse

This is designed to cover a UK light switch and hold a single Philips Hue dimmer remote control. The original light switch is still accessible when the Hue remote is removed. I'd originally looked to use [colosb's STL](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2566908), but it needed some tweaking to fit my switch. However, I'm an OpenSCAD kind-of-guy, so I set about a grounds-up recreation. The advantage, of course, is that you can adjust it for your own needs. In particular, you want the back of the cover to touch the original faceplate. It the recess in the back of the cover is too deep, the original faceplate won't be securely fastened into its backbox, as they share the same screws. A 20mm x 3mm neodymium magnet holds the remote in place, embedded in the print. I'm using a Prusa3D i3 MK3S and used the [Color Print](https://www.prusaprinters.org/color-print/) site to add a filament change at the top of the magnet. This paused the printer to give me a chance to pop the magnet into place. Use your slicer to find the height of the first layer about the magnet hole if you're doing the same. Alternatively, you can look in the OpenSCAD file and change the embed_magnet value if you're prefer to glue it into a recess in the back. If you're looking to mount a Philips Hue Dimmer Remote to another project, you may find my [carrier](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3468535) design useful, which I separated out from this one. Let me know if you find any bugs. Otherwise, enjoy!
