Custom Cable: Fill the gap between Case and Cable
« on: Wed, 02 March 2016, 10:38:46 »
Hello,

So I've made a custom Cable for my filco.

How did you manage to fill the gap between the hole in the case and the cable ?


Used some heatshrink, but It doesn't feel really solid and reliable.


In other word: How do you replace this ? (and how do you call it?)

Option 1 - carefully slit the rubber piece pictured and glue it on the bottom of the cable out of sight.

Option 2 - make a replacement out of Sugru :)

I think I'll go for this one, even if it make a big gap when I put it back on the larger cable's diameter.

In English it would be called a rubber grommet.

Hardware stores sell them, usually for plumbing purposes. If both ends of the cable already have attachments, you will have to cut it.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."

Thank you, would never thought that a "grommet" could make the job.
