Baby-safe light-switch cover (Decora)

Baby-safe light-switch cover (Decora)

Overview

Is your light-switch also really close to a toddler crib? Deter your button-fiend with this light switch cover specifically designed to only allow use from one side.

Instructions

This model will only work with Decora-styled light switches (the ones that have the thick toggle switches). The included FreeCAD file can be used to generate alternative styles.

For the best results, use the .step file as it preserves the curved top surface, resulting in a better print.

An additional STL for an unmodified-Decora light switch has been included - plain-cover.stl

Lore

One of my toddler's had unlimited crib-side access to the power to illuminate and deluminate their room. They are not ready to wield such powers,
and this switch cover seemed to be the only non-intrusive/annoying solution at my disposal.

It seems that most baby-proofing switch covers completely disable the use of a switch (intentionally or not).
