Outlet Frame

The wall plate is the one thing in the room nobody chose. Choose it: an elongated hexagon in stepped terraces, a scalloped edge with a bead round it, an arch, a soft rounded slab, a chamfered octagon — for a rocker, a toggle or a duplex, one to three gangs, in ten matte colours. Printed to order in PETG; it fits the device you already have and takes its screws.

Rocker covers Decora switches, dimmers, GFCI and USB outlets — anything with the tall rectangular face.

Fit. The openings and the screw holes are the NEMA standard's — a rocker plate's 33 × 67 mm window with screws 96.8 mm apart, a toggle's, a duplex outlet's two D-shaped openings with the screw between — on the standard 46 mm gang pitch, so the plate goes straight onto the device that is on your wall now, with its own screws. The back is flat; the face carries the relief and the countersinks. PETG, not PLA: a plate sits over a dimmer that runs warm and takes a screw cinched down hard on a thin rim — PETG holds its shape to about 80 °C and flexes where PLA would crack. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.
