Description
When I attempted to run wires through my basement wall I discovered that I had some horizontal studs blocking my ability to run wires vertically inside the wall. So I got some cable organizer channels and designed this simple box in Tinkercad to fit over my 2-gang outlet. It features 4 tabs for adding small command strips so there are no holes in the wall.
Prints without supports if placed with the large flat “front” side of the box on the print bed.
