Plenty of 2000s/2010s Volkswagen Group vehicles came with plastic engine bay battery boxes that fatigue and fail with age and use. Once they're broken you're left with no cover over the positive battery terminal to protect against accidental contact and bridging.
This cover is designed to snap onto the metal part of the positive cable terminal after the battery is connected – you have to give it a firm push, but once installed it holds on well. It's modelled for (and by) a Mk6 Golf, however it should also fit Mk5 Golf/2K Caddy/8P Audi A3/1Z Škoda Octavia/etc. since they're all based on the same platform. May or may not fit other VAG products of the same era.
If you print it upside down (as in the third photo) then no supports are required. I used PETG for mine, although anything that can handle high-ish temperatures and isn't too brittle should work well – PLA will likely end in squishy disappointment though and no one wants that.
