When Installing our new Mini-Split HVAC unit, we wanted to attach a Smart Thermostat to it (the Siri compatible Ecobee in our case). But that required a transformer to power it. And there was no space for the transformer where it could breathe, since they heat up. So only one solution… 3D printing to the rescue! 🙂 This also works for doorbell transformers, etc. As long as it fits in a 2-gang outlet. Use at your own risk of course, and always make sure you know what you’re doing with electrical stuff.
Note: the screw holes were made to match the 2-gang boxes where the light switches/outlets would normally screw in; not the holes on the switches themselves where those plates screw, since there are no switches/outlets here.
