junction box vintage style for 5 cables

thingiverse

I needed a junction box for a lighting installation. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4436989 was an inspiration, but I needed 5 cable outlets and a real strain relief. So I did a new design following the elements of the "Bakelite"-style of the old industrial installations. The cable glands are real stuff, and therefore have a good strain relief and are much better waterproof than the rest. Of course this is only a decorative element and not a safety tested electrical device. For lamps the rules are less strict, but check yourself. The cable gland threads are M12x1,5 and the lid is fixed by M4 bolts.
