I wanted a little shelf above my GFCI Single Gang Electrical Outlet Wall Plate. Here it is!
I've designed a bit of tolerance in the "glue channels" so it should be relatively easy to print and assemble on most printers (hopefully).
*Print WITH supports (the Ribs don't need them but the Plate and Shelf probably do)
- PrintTWO copies of Rib.stl and one of each of the others.
- Object orientations should be correct as provided to reduce supports, simplify printing
Update 2019-09-17
- Improved orientation of Plate for less support, better final product
Update 2019-09-18, 2019-09-23
- Reduced size above upper screw
- Made Shelf slightly wider and 3/4" deeper
- Increased height of lip around around shelf
- Slight change in depth for glue channel of Rib
- Parameterized some of the Fusion model
Update 2019-10-03
- Gap above top back to 25mm
- No longer a Work in Progress. I'm done unless people have suggestions.

Post-Printing
=============
I used CA / Super Glue to attach the four printed parts (plate, shelf, two ribs).
How I Designed This
- I found Alexhart's modelrnI imported the .stl into Fusion 360rn Inserted the upload into a new drawingrnI converted the Mesh (imported model) to BREP (first save drawing, disable history)rn I had to scale the BREP by 0.1 to make it the appropriate sizernI simplified the BREP just a bit to make it easier to get dimensions from.rn Using the original model as a reference, I created my own wall plate WITHOUT a shelfrnI test printed this to make sure the dimensions were appropriate.rnrnI will be making a separate remix for the my wall plate without a ledge and I'll include Fusion 360 export files with that.rnrn Added a small shelf with a lip roughly the dimensions of my phone.rn* I designed these to print as four parts and glued.
