Proud of this one. :D

Honest to goodness could not find a commercial version of this available anywhere, otherwise I probably never would have created it. Here was my requirement:

  • Recessed
  • Dual Gang
  • Both ports dedicated to low voltage applications

That's it. I had no other requirements. It simply doesn't exist. There's some commercially available stuff that wants you to install an electrical box along with a low voltage box.

 

Other added perks since we were making this from scratch:

  • Retrofit tabs drywall installation
  • Uses the original faceplates your stuff comes with

 

While it is low voltage, for added strength, I printed mine out of PETG. I felt better about screwing into PETG since it'll eat screws better than a more brittle material like PLA.

 

I really recommend the “Special Support” version; This utilizes “support material for PLA / PETG” as the connecting piece to the part supports. Standard tree support is going to be a royal PITA to remove, because the entire unit is floating in order to give it the extra lip:

 

Even if you only have PLA to use as your PETG support connector, its good enough and well worth it:

Just remember to tighten up your interface spacing if you're using the special supports; It likes it with no tolerances. (And bump up your flushing volumes so it can poop 3x more than normal between the 10 filament changes – you don't want PLA and PETG mixing in the nozzle or it gets WEAK).

 

Now go hook up whatever the heck you need. Low voltage boxes are the best. :D

 

(If you want to remix, just ask, I'm sure we can figure something out)
