Outdoor 12ga extension cord enclosure

thingiverse

Connecting a 12-gauge extension cord requires a specialized cover that won't work with regular extension cords. This cover isn't waterproof, but it's designed to keep moisture out by providing a snug friction fit even in severe Texas thunderstorms. To ensure a secure connection, consider zip-tying the cover closed. The design also features holes for drainage in case of condensation or water infiltration. When working with smaller gauge cords, such as those under 12-gauge, it's essential to wrap them in foam to prevent moisture seepage. This simple precaution can help maintain a dry and safe workspace. The covers are printed in PLA with supports, requiring careful orientation for optimal printing results. To achieve this, print both shells with the interior facing upwards and consider rotating one of them by 45 degrees if using a standard 220x220 print bed.
