Changes from the original:

- Split into two models for easier slicer arrangement.
- Re-scaled to properly fit 14AWG wire without resizing in slicer.
- Beveled a few edges to allow for easier handling and assembly when splicing.


To use:

1. Insert your pre-spliced wire into one side of the jig. One side is for 1-to-1 the other is for 1-to-2. It should handle most types of slim splices including crimp and heat-gun-solder types, or just raw hand-soldered wire.
2. Mate the two halves of the jig.
3. Clamp the jig together for stability with any small clamp.
4. Inject 2-4 trigger-presses of hot-glue.
5. Wait for it to cool
6. Remove from jig and trim excess hot glue.

Your wires should have a somewhat more water-tight seal now as long as the splice stayed centered.

That is in theory how it should work. I will test after I perform my first print.


Printing:

As this will be encountering hot glue I suggest using a filament that handles heat the best. PLA is probabl
