Custom Mud Ring: 3D-Printed Electrical Adapter This project converts a standard junction box cover into a high-strength, precision mud ring. It’s designed for anyone needing a custom-depth solution that standard hardware stores simply don't carry. Why This Design Works Smart Alignment: Screw holes are moved to the horizontal and vertical axes for easier device mounting. Hardware Ready: Features dual-stage holes (4.78mm and 4.5mm) specifically for heat-set threaded inserts. Maximized Opening: The center hole is a wide 60mm, allowing maximum wire clearance without sacrificing screw strength. Built to Last: A 12.7mm protrusion (1/2”) combined with Edge Fillets ensures the ring won't snap under pressure. Print-Optimized: Designed to handle 6 perimeter layers, making the screw anchors rock-solid for high-torque applications. Technical Specs Software: CATIA V5 Total Diameter: 72mm Screw Spacing: 60mm center-to-center Insert Depth: 9mm
