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.

"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.

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