3D model description

Hi there!

Do you have small children, who are always searching for something interesting in the house?

They always seem to find very dangerous things to play with.

One of the common game is : How to put something into the power socket?

To prevent baby's exploring the world of electricity I update my first version for protection. I named it ProtectO. :)

It is meant to be inside the socket and when you need to plug some device, you just spin it with the plug in clock-wise direction and its done.

But watch out, don't forget to put it back into safety position, it is not automatic yet. :)

If you want to remove ProtectO from the socket, just use 2 small flat screwdriver and pull it out at the edges (half circle space).

I know that there is a lot of protection kits you can buy in the local store, but why buying if you can print it?

And you can print orange, blue or pink ProtectO, isn't that nice?

3D printing settings

  • good calibrated platform
  • infill 10%
  • layer height 0.2 mm
  • 2 loops/shells
  • no support, already inside

If you can't get it rotated by hand, insert ProtectO into the socket and spin it with plug in clock-wise direction. Maybe you will need some force to brake the connection between inner/outer part.

But i made enough space that this shouldn't be an issue.
