I wanted a wifi switch to use with OctoPrint to switch my Prusa PSU on and off. This is the result.

I got a C13 and a C14 plug from AliExpress and designed the top and bottom sides to work with those. I don't know to what extent C13 and C14 plugs are standardised, so it may be that plugs from other sources do not work (physical incompatibility). I got the following plugs from Jane's Components Store (https://traco.aliexpress.com/store/725808):

I am turning into a fan of Shelly products and built in a Shelly 1 (https://www.shelly.cloud/en/products/shop/1xs1), which works with OctoPrint's PSU Control - Shelly (https://plugins.octoprint.org/plugins/psucontrol_shelly/).

You will also need:

6M3x10 flat-head screws
2M3x16 flat-head screws 

You can repurpose the screws from within the C14 plug to attach the C14 to its base plate. The Shelly just slips snuggly into its frame and needs no screws.

I think you can assume the box is IP00 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_code). If you don't know what this means, don't use it.

Unfortunately, because of the design of the C14 plug, you may feel that the box is upside-down when used with the Prusa PSU.

Disclaimers

I leave it up to you to read the Shelly installation guide and design the electrical connections needed within the box. I am not a qualified electrician, so it would be inappropriate for me to propose any electrical solution.

I decline all responsibility for any use of this design by anyone anywhere and for any purpose. If your jurisdiction does not allow this, I deny you permission to download or use the design (don't blame me, blame your jurisdiction).
