Cover to protect a low-voltage wire splice. Heat shrink tubing (on each wire and over the whole thing) wasn't enough to protect this splice in the past, so I'm trying this out.
Print two identical parts, they will fit together (not snap fit), but need glue. I used epoxy, mostly at the ends where the wire path is thinner, but also put some on the mounting tabs and a little in the middle to keep the wires from moving and rubbing. Clamped until dry. Looks better than I expected.
Case size is 120mm long, made to fit a wire diameter of 4.5MM.
Freecad source provided for customization.
