This is a good little demo of how mass produced moulded design is different from 3D Printed Design.
in this case it isn't Injection moulds, most (UK) electrical polymer parts are made from Thermoset materials. Where Thermoplastic get softer when heated, Thermoset only polymerise once, when two reagents are pressurised and heated in the mould. This makes the parts safer for electrical usage, as if the parts where to get softer as they heat, they might deform and cause electrical contact.
So Thermosets are generally used to contain electrical connections for safety reasons. Please remember this when downloading electrical stuff: 3D PRINTERS USE THERMOPLASTICS.
