Wall Outlet Case

Thu May 11, 2017 11:44 am

Hey so I'm designing a case and am hoping to mount the case directly onto a wall outlet. I can't seem to find any products that would allow this. Basically I would need to make the power supply prongs stationary to the case.

Any suggestions?

Which country do you live in?

As I'm sure you know, mains sockets are by no means universal.

1. Find product (hopefully in your junk bins) that plugs into outlet.
2. Take the guts out except what you need.
3. Put your guts into now empty case.

If you're meaning something like this https://www.min.at/prinz/?entry=entry150323-165443 then add to the list:

4. Turn on the switch and burn your house down.
5. Remain homeless when the insurance refuses to pay out.
