Cable Sleeving Guide

That's amazing. No one can touch that for custom PC build.

that one is off-topic, but I'm sure you will be "shocked" a bit
One guy did it in 18s days, completely handmade PC CASE!

[Boogerlad]

can you spray paint sleeving?

[Xien16]

I tested it

The result was verry bad, because the paint peeled off with every movement

[Boogerlad]

I guess I'll stick with technoflex clean cut black then. I can't find blue that doesn't suck at 1.5"

Did you try Nils' sleeving??

MDPC-X

[Boogerlad]

I can't buy the "big" size for the atx cable =( separately.

[Xien16]

You can buy the tubing sleeve seperatly...
As I remember the size is the same

Damn, Nils, great timing with these crimps, just AFTER i got my sleeves

Really nice work FunFunBoy, seams a shame to close the door on that excellent work of art.

@Arthur sleeving looks excellent mate I really do like that orange.
I do find looking through the water mark is a PITA thou.
I know you do it so people don't use your photo's without your concent.
But still I feel it take away from your art.

Yes bro, its the only reason I am doing that. I can understand you well about my water mark and actually you are right. I'll try to change it with proper sized one soon enough. By the way, I thank you for detailed my work.

Grand bleu and Pentium 3 fits really good

Can anyone lend me an ATX pin remover? I just ordered all my sleeving and shrink for a shot at this, forgot the stupid tool. Promise I'll return it good as new soon as soon as I'm done.

Last time I tried the staple method while making some extensions, I ended up with quite a few staples in my thumb and vowed to never try that again.

Also, best tool to use for shrinking the shrink? I'm seeing a mix between heatgun and hair dryer. I'm afraid a heat gun might melt the sleeving.

BTW, looks like I'm the first one attempting this on a power supply with threaded connectors:



Wish me luck.

It's a pity that you don't want to try again with staples. My first few cables were nightmare, but now i can't visualize myself buying 30$ tool - there is no sense in that.

Hint: don't use your fingers to push the staple in, try small pliers (i use my girlfriend's pliers for jewelery making).

I never tried anything else than lighter. Some patience and you will be fine.

My first adventure with cable sleeving, courtesy of Nils...











I redid the SATA cables later and made the shrink a bit longer...

[Xien16]

especially to your last picture...

That looks just amazing but don't you think the tube from the bottom is a little bit too short

[ggdh]

90 degrees would work better, though...
