Professional and fully customizable template for marking electrical boxes on the wall before installation!

📐 What does it do

This template allows you to mark the position of electrical boxes directly on the wall with millimeter precision using spray paint. The dashed outline marks the exact perimeter of the box, while the central text indicates the function (SOCKET, TV, RJ45, INTERCOM, etc)

✨ Main Features

Pre-configured Standard Boxes

  • 503: 108 x 74 mm (3 modules)
  • 504: 135 x 74 mm (4 modules)
  • 507: 183.5 x 90 mm (7 modules)
  • Customizable custom sizes

Predefined Texts TV • SOCKET • RJ45 • INTERCOM • THERMOSTAT • RJ11 • LIGHT • CUSTOM

Smart Dashed Outline

  • Marks the exact perimeter of the box
  • Solid outer frame (20mm) for structure and grip

Ergonomic L-shaped Handle (Optional)

  • Can be positioned on the right or left
  • L-shaped design: first horizontal (60mm), then vertical (35mm)
  • Allows you to hold the template without getting dirty with spray paint
  • Completely removable if you prefer

Quick Identification

  • Box number printed at the top (empty, spray through)
  • Immediately recognize which template you are using

🎯 How to Use

  1. Customize in OpenSCAD: modify box type, text, handle position
  2. 3D Print: use 2-3mm thickness for rigidity
  3. Position on the wall: align the template where you want to install the box
  4. Grip the handle: hold the template steady without touching the surface
  5. Spray: apply light spray over the template
  6. Remove: the perfect outline and text remain on the wall!
