Get some white air conditioner outdoor trunking, it’s the stuf they use to put air on pipes inside, lag that shit pipe you installed and put it inside a nice neat white trunking, it comes with nice radius bends and all sorts of stuff. 
 

f##rk me got you out of trouble again 😘

Yeah - somehow I knew this was safest route . Boxed in how / with what ? - not keen on timber . Some form of plastic ?

 

TBH the internals should be dry and well drained, so personally I'd just do it in timber, e.g a length to wood decking or other preserved wood from Wickes or equiv. You cam pick up a length of 25×120 mm decking for about £8 and cut to form a  U profile cover with a nice sloping lid.  Easy to fix to the wall.  Maybe not the most beautiful, but it will do the job and stop your drain blocking. And yes, in 10 years time you might need to replace it. 😅

Abs ok in weather ? Temperature range I mean . Not going to split / crack / fade ??

 

I would print in ASA. The X1C will handle it without issue. ASA has something like ten times the UV resistance of ABS.
