Best tutorial on the internet hands down!.

@RainyCreates 3 года назад

How long does it stay in the freezer? Thanks for sharing your secrets :)

@voxelmods 3 года назад

30-60 minutes! You're welcome

@Depl0rable10 2 года назад

At about 10:30 it started feeling like a really strange cooking show. Thanks for the help!

@bjornd327 3 года назад

Great tutorial mate! I'm going to make my own cable soon and this was what I needed to get properly going! Thank you and keep up the great work :)

@TinyBeanToes 3 года назад

I ordered a cable from you about a week ago and im so fucking excited to get it its ridiculous😂 my friend thinks im an idiot but wait till he sees it lol

@voxelmods 3 года назад

Now that you've seen your cable completed, do you think we proved him wrong? I'm so glad you're so excited!

@kenyonjones2357 3 года назад

could you show how to make the tool you used to get that coil i have been trying to make my own cable and want a good coil

@Camdem 3 года назад

Please link the grounding rod clamp you use. I've searched online but none of them specify the type of hex bolt they use. The 1/2" grounding rod clamp I bought is too small to fit the 3/8" -16 hex bolt I have.

@Rickjames127 3 года назад

Finally found the right videos. Thanks for such a clear explanation and awesome video.

Hey great video man, I just had one question. What if I already soldered the usb connectors to the cable? Would I be able to still bake them or would the oven remelt the solder? Or what if say I used a mass produced usb c cable (made of nylon paracord with aluminum leads)? Would I be able to just coil that cable around a piece of metal and throw it in the over? Thanks in advance!

@voxelmods 3 года назад

Thanks! You can bake your cables with the soldering done, but your mileage may vary based on your oven. Start at a lower temperature, and try testing the temp first. Coiling a factory made braided cable *should* be possible, but again, the result will vary based on the qualities of the cable you started from. That was how I did my very first coil too! Just with a heat gun Good luck!

@maia3514 3 года назад

Perfect, thank you! Brilliant jig setup

@rnldry 3 года назад

please do a video on how you do cerakote the aviators

@jameslam2848 3 года назад

Love your tutorial thanks for sharing your secrets Keep up the good work

@dslstnt 2 года назад

i use this "L" method before i saw your video, this is the best method i ever use... it's more neat hehehe. and i'm also use oven ;)

@orangemelon852 2 года назад

Hey! I'm from Brazil, and I find your videos very interesting, I've already bought most of the items to compose, but I had the doubt, how long do you leave it in the electric oven?

@natsu753 3 года назад

Will you explain how to paint the connector?

@BiggieBigBiggie 3 года назад

google cerakote coating

@papilcost 2 года назад

Hey bro,how long was the part of the cable from the kbd to the connector? I wanna know if a 1.8m cable is enough for the coil,than use a 1.2m spare to route it to the pc

@marek_sebesta 2 года назад

1,8m cable will give you like 14cm coil,, approx

@LDellosa 3 года назад

Awesome video, Voxel! And thanks for the reminder that I am, in fact, me :)

@voxelmods 3 года назад

Anytime! Phew, im glad you remembered!

@deliveredlate Год назад

Is it safe to put the cable in the oven. Are there no toxic fumes?

@voxelmods Год назад

It's plenty safe in my personal opinion, and I don't really smell any fumes when i bake my coils!

@iamdavidray 3 года назад

This is beautiful just placed an order :)

@Squancheeb 3 года назад

I tried a heatgun for a few minutes and was wondering why my coil didn’t hold shape…. 50 minutes in the oven…guess i need to heat it longer.

@Eagleii2 3 года назад

Is the tube 1/2 inch or 3/8? Do you make coils with either diameter or just one coil size?

@rendy5092 3 года назад

Awesome!

@ponchofreedo 2 года назад

what happened to part 3?

@prasadpawar6166 3 года назад

What length coil do you make normally? And what's the approx diameter of the rod ?

@jacobdiba4130 3 года назад

Hey Voxel by any chance that you have a link for the ground clamps extender that you have cause I cant seem to kind them at home depot

@AmericasianKid1 3 года назад

Can techflex brown during the baking process? One of my friend's ordered a yellow coiled cable with clear techflex and the coiled portion was brownish compared to the straight host end.

@voxelmods 3 года назад

I've never seen a coil become discolored during baking, not in 300+ coils baked. If its genuinely discolored (and not the natural result of clear techflex over yellow), then that's a strange situation, and I would recommend talking to the maker to see if your friend could send it back for replacement/repair

@ppenduko 3 года назад

Hi. Do you paint your own connector?

@G.AngHWBG 3 года назад

Why would you bake it one more time? Does not this defeat the purpose of reversing it?

@voxelmods 3 года назад

No, the purpose of baking and freezing is to set the coils shape. By reversing between cycles, it changes the tightness and properties of the coil. Baking once and reversing without a second heat/cool cycle could result in very poor results

@miguelli7928 3 года назад

Did you plan to upload a how to fuse colors guide?

@voxelmods 3 года назад

I do plan to upload a color fusing guide in the near future!

@gavarrahul 2 года назад

@@voxelmods can you please do follow up on these?

@voxelmods 2 года назад

I'm afraid I was overwhelmed with orders and have had to shift away from tutorials in general. The quick rundown is 1. Sleeve two color til they meet and overlap a little 2. Slide a 1.5 inch piece of 1/4in diameter heatshrink (clear) onto the seam 3. Heat with the blue part of a lighters flame til the seam is melted together. Don't go too far 4. Remove the heatshrink entirely 5. Techflex and beyond!

@gavarrahul 2 года назад

Any plans of continuation of these tutorials? Would love to see more as you have done excellent job at explaining it so far. And also pulled me into diy cables. 😁❤️

@voxelmods 2 года назад

Honestly I don't have the bandwidth for long form content anymore. My best recommendation is to join my discord server and head over to the DIY channels! We have a small, welcoming community there that focuses on helping each other with cables as they're working. Link can be found on my website or Instagram link tree!
