But solder and heatshrink, with the option of netted sleeving also work.
The Z axis stepper will be covered by a cover ill be making from sheet metal to cover the entire Z axis (Jazz's idea) and the Y stepper is enclosed in the gantry (or will be) so the only stepper exposed will be the X axis one, I might look into a cover for that once the machine is up and running. It'll also be tucked away at the top of the router (it's going 80° vertical on its side) at the back so hopefully out of the way.
