Shallow AC Outlet Boxby RebelTaz I have a retractable reel AC extension cord that has a defective outlet strip. I'm replacing it with a standard 15-amp AC wall outlet, but I needed a box for it. Most commercially available boxes are too deep and I didn't have any of the shallow ones on hand, so I whipped this up in FreeCAD and printed it in PETG. The box is JUST deep enough for the outlet and the wires to fit. The outlet is held in place by the standard 6-32 screws that come with it and the faceplate is held in place by another 6-32 screw (1/4"-1/2" long) with a countersunk head.

I am a self-proclaimed know-it-all. I will tackle any project regardless of my experience, or lack thereof. Always ready to learn something new. With over 25+ years experience in electronic repair and 10+ years experience in small engine / ATV / motorcycle repair, there is nothing I can't fix, modify or build. Why a pepper? In case anyone is curious as to why there is a hot pepper embossed into most of my designs... My nickname is Pepper and that little pepper logo is a hell of a lot shorter than "Copyright © 2017 by Derek J.G.
