Title: [IC] Sleeving Colour Wheel
Post by: pexon 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.

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.

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

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.

Post by: SmallFry on Sun, 03 February 2013, 10:55:26: Sorry, that came out wrong. I was just wondering what it would look like if MiMiC offered one of these color wheels as well.

Post by: SmallFry on Sun, 03 February 2013, 11:00:32: Also, your Project Evo by PEXON link is a bit bad, but once I figured out the URL, that is a VERY purdy build.
