Case Mod - In Progress Project: Chocolate Temptation-Update 4 June - I have got Sick & Facebook Page!

It's been done before and with great success. I found about it at another board... Here...

Once I found out about it, I decided to try it out and sleeved my entire system in black paraccord for a total cost of about $30... That included buying enough heatshrink to last me about five more entire sleeving jobs ($5) and a heatgun ($10) from Harbor Freight Tools. The paraccord itself was $16 for a 100 foot lenght from the Army/Navy surplus store around my house. You can get the cord in many colors and even some with funky designs...

@ Kosovar
I'm really liking the no heatshrink treatment you gave to your wiring... I may have to steal that for my next sleeving project..

 

Yes this is the same exact quality od MDPC-X sleeving but it is smaller....it's perfectly goes over a 18gauge wire.....it the bomb...

The lighter red is standard TechFlex/PET sleeving.......I had those from a long time ago. Big color difference, even MDPC-X sleeving isn't that red...its more the color of the TechFlex stuff.

 

do you have any pics of the crimped connections?

 

Ahaa thats no problem... i will make one step-by step gouide on how i make it on way
Ahaa thats pretty nice ! Post some pics here so i can see ! its so cheap that you can buy other more needed tools and stuff instead , yeah the store i got it from had many colors and designs...check it out www.knivbutik.se

ahaa good good , aha i see i have grey sleeve from djungelapa who goes just right over the wire with a tight fit

i see...yes i saw that and i thougt that you could pos a pic on it with the two reds together and with a littlle bit of black aswell

 

Loving the nylon sleeving, everyone uses the MDPCX sleeve now, nylon looks so much better IMO, a lot more flexible as well. I sleeve all my audio cables in Nylon .

 

nice to hear that, yeah i know regular sleeve is outdated , i wanted to try something new and paracord it is !

 

its kind of a kosovar alá secret brow , cant show it unfortunaly

 

I promiced i early update today...but i was at some relatives all day today, better late than never...
Many good pictures and no babbeling, if you wounder something feel free to give me a comment !

















Better pics on the sleevejob sofar....

 

I love the look of sleeved cables where there aren't any visible heatshrink!
Great work!

 

aww I wanna do it too

 

I do it too ! its so clean and neat!

haha sorry bro...mayby later

 

Yeah, come on - show us how it's done. It's too cool to hide!

 

at least pm it to me?

 

the problem is that everyone would have done so , and i want to keep that for my self for a while , then i can go out and tell how i does it , but it is as simple as it sounds, you crimp the cable with the paracord on into the pins , you need a good crimping tool, and female pins, but the risk by doing this is that the pins can bereak of easely !

 

woah **** man the sleeving is better than that mdpc stuff man awesome it really is delicious

 

hahaha xD, yeah its delicious !

 

Great initiative on using the paracord mate.
Real 'thinking outside the box' stuff.
