Thanks so much cvmichael@thingiverse for the original model, it is a nice shape and economical design. 

It's a basic outlet cover box for keeping little hands off of dangerous things.

I have been printing using PETG, PLA is probably durable enough as well.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

I made some adjustments for functionality, and use a bit less filament.

On the baseplate, the prongs were merged with the baseplate. This prints best with snug supports. I have made a working example using no supports, with minor deformations on the two overhangs.

The bottom and side wire holes are enlarged, and the plate is adjusted as well to accommodate the larger gaps.

The MK2 files keep the same shape as the original model, and are not as refined as the MK3 models. The MK3 version also has the latch hole size increased slightly and a flat end to print upside down easily without supports.
