Description
This is a customized dimmer for a SmartGlass (switchable privacy film) installation that fits into a standard electrical box as a decora style insert. The insert houses a 6mm slotted potentiometer (WL branded) and an optional 5mm LED.
In action:
It's unlikely you want exactly this. I included the Fusion 360 file for you to customize, and I have posted a blank Decora Insert model which may be a better starting point for you:

The potentiometer knob is separately posted here:

The model comes with an LED insert that provides a point source of light to diffuse under the white plate. Print the LED insert with black filament. The recess for the potentiometer includes a 1 layer bridge in the design so supports are not needed .. though it still prints a little better with supports.
