Philips Hue - double Hue remote UK light-switch cover

thingiverse

This is designed to cover a standard UK light switch and hold two Philips Hue dimmer remote controls. The original light switch is still accessible when the Hue remote is removed. The Hue remotes are held in place with magnets behind the switch cover. I have previously used the single Hue remote switch covers from cgcrute, and these worked very well. Then we needed a switch cover to hold two Hue remotes, so I started by trying the double-remote remix from tuk485. Unfortunately our existing rocker switches protrude further (5mm) and prevent the Hue remote from lying flush. This together with a couple of other niggles led me to go back to basics, draw a fresh angular outline in SketchUp, copy the dimensions and key design features from cgcrute's single remote switch covers, and then use the great Round Corner extension from Fredo6 to round off the various edges and corners. For the magnet, I chose to use the same as cgcrute used for his switch covers: http://www.banggood.com/50pcs-N52-Super-Strong-Disc-Magnets-20mm-x-3mm-Rare-Earth-Neodymium-Magnets-p-997169.html 13-Sep-2017: Re-generated model from flat 2D dimensional design, in order to get all geometries exactly correct, and with some size adjustments after discussion with Chris. Added design notes in PDF form. 18-Sep-2017: Received first prints. All fitted perfectly. but arguably a bit 'snug' around the light switch, so I've added 1mm to the inner width to make it 87mm x 87mm inside. Overall I'm very pleased with the way this worked-out. 9-Sep-2018: Updated to widen the switch aperture to 50.5mm to fit more comfortably over a triple light switch. Fits really nicely.
