[IC] Sleeving Colour Wheel
« on: Sat, 02 February 2013, 10:51:51 »
Not sure if this is in the right place (It will be checked my a moderator so hopefully it will be!), I have made up a colour wheel with a small selection of 18 example sleeving varieties and colours. The plan is to have it snet around to people interested in getting some custom cables done, so they can have a look and get a feel for what type of sleeving and potential colours before purchasing.

I don't want anything upfront, I will post out to the first person FOC and just ask each person to post in the thread who would like the wheel next. The postage will be the responsibility of the next person who wants it. The order will be who posts in the thread, first come first served style.

Any donation to GH will be awesome! Pics below, please note any ideas etc below, I'm happy to listen to suggestions.







Colours included:-

550 Standard Red Paracord
550 Safety Green Paracord
550 Coyote Brown Paracord
MDPC Yellow
MDPC Copper
MDPC Black
MDPC White
MDPC Shade 19
MDPC Grey
MDPC Orange
MDPC Toxic Green
Techflex White
Techflex Carbon
Techflex Blue
Techflex Toxic Green
Techflex Hot Pink
Techflex Beige

If you want to check out some examples of my previous work, check out my facebook page in my signature, theres loads of work on there on different cables.

For cables etc check my thread in the classifieds.  http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=38146.0

Thanks man, been wanting to do it for a while, but I'm not hot on the Geekhack way of things, so I wanted to lurk a little longer and get established before I ventured into it.

The Techflex is pretty subpar as a sleeving medium.  But great idea nonetheless.   MDPC is where its at.  Nils is a boss.

I'd definitely participate in this. Pictures can only show so much and it would be easier to make a decision when I can see it it person. Great idea!

Exactly turbo! The paracord and MDPC look very different in person, you can't get a feel for the quality from looking at photos.

Not that yours isn't cool Pexon, but I do wonder how many colors and heatshrinks MiMiC would have, since I think he has others than the ones he posts for us to buy.

Er... OK?   :rolleyes:

I can get almost any sleeving variety or colour in stock, as well as any colour heatshrink. I can get stainless, mylar etc in.

Sorry, that came out wrong. I was just wondering what it would look like if MiMiC offered one of these color wheels as well.

Also, your Project Evo by PEXON link is a bit bad, but once I figured out the URL, that is a VERY purdy build.
