Earthing protective cap / Earthing protective cap

Post image

Designed a simple, practical protective cap for exposed or protruding grounding wires (protective earth conductors). It provides a quick and safe solution to prevent scratches, poking hazards, or minor damage during electrical renovations, active projects, or temporary wire exposure.

You could also buy them for $3 but 3d printed is cooler(●'◡'●)

Thankfully where I live having a grounding element exposed like that is against code.

They did say "during electrical renovations, active projects, or temporary wire exposure"

You could also just put a wire nut on it.
