I created a minimum clearance rear enclosure that you might be able to use. It is a little flimsy, needs supports to print, and generally isn't as nice as the normal rear enclosure, but it has every bit of non-essential geometry stripped to the bone so it is as small as I could make it for tight work boxes.
Thanks for the response. After looking into it a bit more, I noticed the Nextion itself is about 1mm taller than the work box, so it wouldn't work even if I were to reduce enclosure to fit. I don't have any spots to install the switch plate so I need to add one of these work boxes into existing drywall.
My only other option is to create a 3d printed workbox to work like the one linked above and fix the enclosure.
Has anyone been able to edit the 3D files to allow the back piece to fit into an old work electrical box?
