SwapPlate™ — one base, endless faces

This is it, live — pick a face, swap it, see inside. Faces snap onto one hidden magnetic base. No tools, no visible screws.

How SwapPlate works

mount once, then restyle forever

1

Mount the base once

The hidden SwapPlate base screws to your switch with the screws it already has — and never comes off again.

2

Magnets do the work

Every base and face carries small neodymium magnets in a standardized layout, so any face fits any base.

3

Snap. Swap. Repeat.

Faces click on magnetically and lift off with your fingertips. Restyle a room in under ten seconds.

Every switch. Every outlet. Everywhere.

The magnetic interface doesn't care what's behind it — bases for the world's switch and outlet standards, and every face fits its base.

The base disappears completely behind the face.

🗺️ The roadmap

Where SwapPlate goes next

The next step is the SwapPlate Studio — a browser-based face generator where you design your own magnetic faces — plus a growing face library, all living at SwapPlate.vip. It's in active development.

✨ Spark

SwapPlate Studio access + the starter face collection for every switch in your house. Where the glow-up begins.

🔌 Power User

Lifetime Studio access + the full face generator — patterns, monograms, your own artwork. All the power, forever.

🧰 The Electrician

Everything in Power User plus a permanent commercial license — you’re the pro now. Print and sell SwapPlate covers in your shop, forever.

Planned tiers, shown for feedback — nothing is on sale yet.

A free community library

The idea: makers design faces in the Studio and share them freely — anyone can grab one, and every one fits the base already on the wall. Post them here, or right on MakerWorld tagged “SwapPlate-compatible.” Here's a sketch of how that library could look.

Free and open — anyone can share a face they've designed, and every one fits the base already on the wall.

Why SwapPlate

🧲

Magnetic, not mechanical

No clips to snap, no tabs to wear out. Magnets align the face and hold it flat — every single time.

🙈

Zero visible screws

The base hides completely behind the face for a clean, built-in look.

🏠

Every switch in the house

Toggle, rocker, outlet and multi-gang — one system covers them all.

🎨

A face for every mood

Seasonal looks, kids’ rooms, holidays, renters who can’t repaint — swap the vibe, not the wiring.

🖨️

Born for 3D printing

Prints on any standard home 3D printer — common 8×3 mm magnets, simple assembly.

🔐

Patent-pending system

The SwapPlate magnetic interface is a filed, patent-pending design — and the face library keeps growing.
