Wall Plate Screw Spacer

thingiverse

As we finished our basement, I had a light switch plate that was far enough back that it had a gap between the front of the box and the back of the sheet rock. Initially when I screwed the light switch plate in it bowed it and kind of pulled one side tighter than the other. So I threw together a wall plate screw spacer. I printed a handful of these then put just the right number on the screw to allow the plate to screw tightly to the box, but not bow or bend the plate. You can print and use this, but I post it more as inspiration to cause people to think about practical yet simple things they could print that they might not otherwise think of.
