Hey GHer's I have been making some cables for people here and there on the forum and figured it would be easier to setup a one thread shop for all the cables to be located in one place

I am trying to raise up some money to go to DEFCON this year and well as you all know any extra cash when your in Vegas helps lol.

So here is the break down:

[/hr][/COLOR]
Post 2: Current Prices for cables ( custom order and already made )
Post 3: Currently available for immediate sale cables
Post 4: Custom Cable options and generally what to expect in terms of pricing and options etc.
Post 5: Photo gallery

[/hr][/COLOR]

So get some cool cables and send me to DEFCON in the process!

Current Cable Prices
*subject to change at anytime when I feel like it for whatever reason no matter how absurd

Currently Available Cables: $28 shipped anywhere w/tracking #

Custom Order Cables: $?? shipped anywhere w/tracking #
-These are more expensive because ordering smaller quantities costs more, plus I already have quite a few of these to catch up on!

If you want faster shipping then you will have to pay more!

3. Green sparkle - $27 shipped - like 5ft. - triple wrapped

Custom Order Cables

[strike]Custom cables can be requested.

Things to consider
- Some materials cost more! $30 is the base price, but will cover most designs

- Shrink wrap is available in many different colors
- Different types of cables can be used as well (ones with angles, different connectors, etc.)
- Custom Cables can take upto or exceed a month to be made due to the shipping time of parts to me (Think group buy, but not as long) so don't PM me everyday asking "wheres my cable bro?" I will send updates!

Feel free to PM me and inquire about a cable of your design.[/strike]

[strike]Currently Catching Up On Custom Orders: Will start taking custom orders again soon

[/strike]

No Longer taking custom orders!!

Ready to start throwing more money at the screen, just waiting to see examples of what you have made.

You say connectors, do you mean you will make custom wrapped micro-usb cables too?

Yeah sorry I forgot to put the lengths on there lol. Most of the cables will fall in the length range.

So that's a no on the micro-usb then?

Techflex is more of a plasticy feel and sometimes if stretched to much kind of looks like netting. Although it is easy to use and wont snag like fabric

Paracord is cloth and looks awesome, but is a pain in the ass to work with in my opinion

Input Nirvana · « **Reply #15 on:** Fri, 30 March 2012, 01:55:55 »

FUN!

Good old Paracord, a million and one uses! Replace the inner yarn/strings with something techy!

I think they are both pretty flexible and neither limit the flexibility of the cable a noticeable amount.

I have two new cables that I should be finishing up tomorrow and posting for sale at some point.

The cables are double wrapped first with paracord and then techflex.

The first cable is maroon paracord with orange techflex over it. The second cable is light blue paracord with patriot techflex over it.

The dual layer gives a pretty neat effect that I think you guys will like ;-) I will post some more pics when they are done. Also these will probably be an extra $5 because of the extra time and materials to make. So expect $25 shipped.

Dat orange!! That looks so awesome.

Working on this right now and it is literally driving me crazy, so with that being said this will be the only curly cable that I make lol

Ok so I finished the curly cable which was the hardest one I have done yet. I was literally pulling out my hair lol.

[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 46700[/ATTACH] [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 46701[/ATTACH] [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 46702[/ATTACH]

I guess I will probably keep this one unless someone wants to pay $40 for it. That may sound insanely high, but this took me 3 hours to make and the materials were around $20 to make it so yeah I probably wont be making another one of these curly cables.

Awful · « **Reply #30 on:** Sat, 31 March 2012, 22:55:35 »

Mailing you my yellow edition Filco. Pls sleeve the cable yellow and send it back, cool?

lol but seriously that curly cable is awesome looking. Not my style, but I really like the color combo on it. Just trying to figure out what I want so I can get you to do one for me

The rope cables are actually made from rope lol. So whatever rope you can find that has a removable inner you can use.

I'm diggin the maroon/burgandy? paracord

I use a hhkb on my laptop like you do so I wouldn't need it to be very long. probably 15 or 16 inches I'd guess..

also is there any chance you will get black usb plastic housing?

I may get some in the future, but I have to use up all the white ones first

RColinTaylor · « **Reply #36 on:** Sun, 01 April 2012, 01:36:20 »

What are the options available when it comes to doing a custom cable?

I would assume the length is one of the major options but other than that can we change the color, material, ends, etc?

whiskerBox · « **Reply #37 on:** Sun, 01 April 2012, 01:38:53 »

RColinTaylor · « **Reply #38 on:** Sun, 01 April 2012, 01:40:24 »

Hmmm...

The only thing really stopping me designing a cable is that I use Leopolds and, well, they have the cable-running system underneath. The cable that comes with the boards is the exact width to fit appropriately in the runners and odds are with the thicker cables it will have an issue fitting.

illadvised · « **Reply #39 on:** Sun, 01 April 2012, 01:45:47 »

Not sure if it's just lighting/white balance, but are any of the ends of the your "paracord" samples beige/cream or are they just white?

This one in particular: [ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 46728[/ATTACH] looks like it has that Noctua beige-maroon color scheme going on.

If so, I might be interested in it if it's for sale.

I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier, but if you guys want black ends I can just shrink wrap the white end black. Other then that next time I will get some black cables

I like the cables that have the ends without the white (or future black) plastic ends molded over the usb connectors. The heat shrink only is a very clean and more streamlined look.

WB: When you re-use the plastic covered usb connectors instead of the uncovered connectors, do you have the cable soldered together under the heat shrink?

I'd buy another one from you if it has black housing or black shrink wrap in black at both ends. =)
