They were a little tricky to mount. The panel must be fairly thin (1.5mm) where the locking clips swing out, or they won’t lock. I made them as thick as possible for strength, and it requires slight prying with a small screwdriver to deploy the locking tabs. See the picture with the orange screwdriver. Once that’s done, the socket fits tightly against the panel. Only the area that the locking tabs engage needs to be thin, the rest of the panel can be whatever suits your needs. I made the rest of the panel 4mm thick.
I’m including the STL file, and the Fusion 360 file. You are welcome to modify and tweak to suit your needs. I have a number of projects that will require outlets, and now I have the template, it’s easy enough to paste it into other drawings.
These are a snug fit, but no sanding was required.

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!
Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
