Would you mind explaining how those are made? Especially the coiling... :D

I'm thinking about making some cables but I'm not sure if one would buy USB cable with or without coating and then pull it through paracord, or if it's easier to just buy it with paracord or shrink PET added from alibaba...


Thanks!

For coiled ones you simply wrap the cables around a rod or pipe, then heat it with hairdryer or heat gun, I use a heat gun. The results do depend on the type of sheath the cable comes with, some will stay coiled better then others. It's all trial and error. You should be able to source the parts online within the same country where ever you're from.

Very nice  :thumb:

With Pexon getting bogged down by huge backlog, it's nice to see more people taking up the slack. I like the coiled ones, looks very clean  :D
