Looking good nubbinator :) have fun on your cable adventure! ^^
Is the USB-A housing opening that small that you can't get the sleeving in?
What sleeves do we have here btw? Paracord, MDPC-X, Nylon perhaps, and something steel looking. That one looks fancy btw. Is that techflex? :)
Looks good
Also, I'm assuming he was supposed to send you the ends that snap on instead of slip?
Bummers about the connectors!
I don't know those sleevings, mainly because it's more of a US thing I guess ^^ but they do look a lot like MDPC. Probably from the same factory or something :p About the Paracord, it's a trial and error thing. Even if you buy the same color from two different companies the flexibility varies. But I use two types of cable now, with the smallest diameter for the patterned Paracord because it can get really tight :)
Is that grey one actually steel or paracord that is colored grey?
Looks nice, nubbinator. Did you soldered the A side from scratch, or did you recycle a premade USB cable and just sleeved it? Is that grey one actually steel or paracord that is colored grey?
Ah so carbon fiber, not really metal. I wonder where George gets his dark stainless steel ones.

Thanks.
Yeah, they were. I actually purchased them and they're sitting there at Bhiner, they just didn't put it in my package.
My Favorite is eyesmile's
they all look pretty cool nub
will you be doing this more in the future?
Hmm, I may have to get some to try. I don't mind too much how the slip on look and feel, but they seem like there's a better way.
Wow! Everyone of them looks fantastic! Thanks again Nubbinator :)
where can i get the mini usb connector?
That purple is NICE!But why isn't the heat shrink on it yet?
Really nice!
Could you make one with mini-USB on the keyboard end and micro-USB at the other end to connect to a tablet?

I probably could, but the connectors and housings are much more difficult to source than with USB mini B, USB B, and USB A. The easiest would be to make a double ended USB mini B cable and use a USB mini B to micro USB adapter like this (http://www.amazon.com/SANOXY-FEMALE-MICRO-ADAPTER-Electronics/dp/B002YKPX6U/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_0_1).
Not something like this (to reduce cable clutter)? http://www.lindy.co.uk/05m-usb-otg-cable-black-type-micro-a-to-mini-b/31957.html

nubs what color is that top one.....I'm guessing that'd be toxic or safety green? chartreuse?
Same color as the shirt I'm wearing haha!

It's sold as yellow, but it's more of a neon yellow. It's just that it's a semi-transparent (or should I say semi-opaque) yellow. It and the green are two colors that are really hard to capture accurately. I'd probably have to set up a light box and play for an hour with the lighting and camera settings to get it just right instead of doing my usual sheet of aluminum and natural lighting.
Is that the mdpc-x yellow? I have the same thing over a black wire and it looks dramatically different.
very nice nubbs! count me in for one ;)

Thanks! I'm still trying to figure out what to do with this first one. I may send it off for review or may sell it off and give all my profit to the SmallFry memorial if we get something set up (which I hope we do).
