Description

This project is a clean and practical solution for covering exposed wires, hooks, and mounting remnants left behind after removing a ceiling light or wall fixture. Instead of leaving an unfinished and visually distracting spot, this geometric cover provides a minimalist and modern way to restore a clean surface appearance. The design is a hollow half-sphere composed of a faceted surface made of visible triangular segments, creating a subtle geometric pattern. This gives the cover a decorative yet neutral look that blends well into most interiors. Inside the model, there is an integrated mounting feature designed to work with an elastic band. The installation system is simple, tool-free, and does not require permanent modifications. How It Works: A small internal loop/hole allows you to thread an elastic band through the model The elastic band is then routed around existing ceiling hooks, wires, or mounting points A side slot enables you to pull and tension the elastic for a tight fit Secure the tension by tying a knot or adding a small bead to prevent the elastic from slipping back inside This tension-based mounting system ensures that the cover sits flush against the surface, effectively hiding any irregularities. Key Features: Covers holes, wires, and hooks after light fixture removal No screws, glue, or permanent installation required Geometric triangular surface for a modern aesthetic Hollow interior to reduce material usage Elastic tension mounting for a secure fit Suitable for ceilings and wall-mounted fixtures (e.g., sconces) Printing Instructions: Recommended material: PLA or PETG Layer height: 0.2 mm Infill: 15–25% Walls: 3–5 perimeters Assembly Instructions: Thread an elastic band through the internal mounting hole. Route the elastic around an existing hook, wire, or fixture anchor. Pull the elastic through the side slot to create tension. Tie a knot or attach a bead to lock the tension in place. Adjust until the cover sits flush against the surface. Tip: For the best visual result, use a filament color that closely matches the surrounding ceiling or wall paint. This helps the cover blend in seamlessly and makes the installation nearly invisible.
