Description

**Standard & Large Extension Cord Cover Print profiles now available!

I wanted to protect my outdoor extension cord connections against the elements so I designed this adjustable extension cord cover! I've printed in both PETG and PLA (although PETG is probably better suited for outdoor use). The print comes with different bushing sizes to fit different extension cord cable diameters ranging from 8mm to 16mm in 2mm increments (if you have a specific diameter cable that doesn't quite fit these bushing sizes just let me know and I'll upload the new size). The cover is water, dust and snow resistant. If you wanted to make it waterproof, I'd recommend applying Silicone to the sealing lip and the bushings.

The cover is print in place for easy assembly. I'd recommend measuring the cables you're looking to cover and simply printing the bushing sizes you need. Selecting the right bushing size will not only provide a better seal but also provide proper cable strain relief. Please also take a moment to measure the size of the extension cord connectors that you're looking to cover to select the appropriate cable cover size for your application. Standard cable cover is ~130mm long while the Large cover is ~180mm long. Bushings are compatible with both versions.

**Looking for a larger extension cord cover that can handle multi-connector power cords? Check out my latest upload! https://makerworld.com/en/models/1076834#profileId-1067818

If you like the print, don't forget to rate, comment and boost!

Enjoy!

Update 2025-02-04: Uploaded new print profile for a longer version of the extension cord cover that's suitable for extension cords with larger/ longer connectors.

Love the design but printing in PETG using your print profile caused all hinges to fuse, going to try again, when I have time to sit at my computer and slice it myself.

@Beausoleil

Oh that’s unfortunate to hear. I printed a few of them with Bambu lab’s PETG hf on my A1 and they work great. What filament did you use? (was it nice and dry?) And what printer model do you have?

@eagleabel33

Replying to @Beausoleil :

I use Generic PETG, this is the first time I have any sort of problem with hinges, but I'll try again, I wonder if your setting being for High Flow might be the issue. Running some tolerance tests right now, then I'll attempt the model again. Filament is dry and I'm using a P1S

@Beausoleil

Replying to @eagleabel33 :

Ok yeah that’s possible. Let us know how it goes!

This is amazing. My skills are not that great yet but I am going to attempt to get this to work with the Rachio Smart Hose Timer. If you have any tips on how to get this to be 90mm in height and the holes for the hose to be on the upper part on the sides, that would be awesome. https://rachio.com/products/smart-hose-timer/

The designer has replied

@Beausoleil

Let me look into it and I’ll get back to you!

@Beausoleil

Maybe the easiest thing to do would be to simply scale the box in bambu studio to make it fit? The timer won’t be centered inside the box but that’s probably fine. Good luck!

Replying to @Beausoleil :

Yeah, that is what I was thinking as well. At first I thought that maybe I could scale only one side but then you have the locking mechanism that would also need to be scaled so that makes it much harder. Thank you for the quick reply.

@Fencer04

What about a TPU gasket for it?

The designer has replied

@Beausoleil

Yes that would certainly be an option! It would probably improve the seal but it really takes alot to make something completely waterproof which is why I believe the simplest and most effective way to completely seal the box is to simply apply some sealent (silicone or other). I might experiment with a TPU seal version however to see how well it works, thanks for the suggestion!

Replying to @Beausoleil :

please attempt to make TPU gadgets half’s for the cord entrances. this is how the Amazon versions keep it water tight for most sized cords.

@Beausoleil

Replying to @blue42 :

Yes I’ll try it out to see how well it works (just need to get a roll of TPU!).

Love this idea. I have 3 cars that sit out under an awning that don’t get driven but occasionally but I hate leaving the trickle chargers connected to them as they sit on a concrete slab and it rains semi often. printed with PETG. I’m printing 2 more right now. it’s supposed to rain this weekend. will see how well they work

@Beausoleil

Awesome!

Good print on not the best quality PLA

@hayman03

Ended up printing this for my Govee light controller. Fits perfect but one of the clasps did break after a single use. Printed in PETG.

@Beausoleil

Sorry to hear that, I printed a few and didn’t have anything break on me yet. Did you have to pull down hard to close it shut? Maybe the bushing size was too small? Also what brand of petg are you using? Are you getting good layer adhesion?

(Edited)

@BuompFam4

Replying to @Beausoleil :

The clasps move freely but yes when locking it down it was tight. It was actually when I unhinged it that it broke. Bed adhesion was good. I used eSun PETG. All good, I plan on printing a couple more. Thanks again for the file!

@Beausoleil

Replying to @BuompFam4 :

Yeah I'd maybe recommend double checking your filament settings to make sure you're using the recommended parameters (nozzle temp, extrusion rate, speed ect..) for your eSun PETG. Good luck and glad you liked the design!
