DIY Cheap Coiled Cable - Quick Tutorial

[@bigdasu83]

this is really good for a simple diy the only thing missing would be to reverse the coil to create tension making it want to spring back together. takes the loose coil and tightens it up really nicely.

[@santamak]

i dont understand what ur saying but it sounds really smart.. is there any video of this or something?

[@bigdasu83]

@@santamak yes there are videos on how to reverse coil the cable its very easy to understand when you see it.

[@HipyoTech]

Someone on Reddit mentioned using an oven to bake the cable over a blow dryer, I am very curious to try this and would love some more input!

[@openpandabook]

just invest in a hot gun lol safer that way dont you think? lol

[@HipyoTech]

@@openpandabook fair point hahahaha

[@deSeriosa]

Baking is safe and much easier

[@Maradnus]

I would say baking would give you a very uniform coil!

[@DanieleBorsari]

I saw from another tutorial that if you reverse coil the cable it'll remain more springy and tensioned

[@strange_jason]

If you reverse the coil after the initial set it is even tighter. So basically coil it in a mirror orientation, heat, set, and then just reverse the coil without heating again.

I know this comment was 2years ago but this was so helpful thanks

[@revngexoxo]

This is a really helpful video. Thank you Hipyo Tech for your award here’s a hippo 🦛

[@HipyoTech]

Ty for the hippo 🦛

[@Lvboost]

Just wrap it around a curling iron with adjustable temp. J/K but that would be an interesting thing to try.

[@uniquefox7431]

This vid deserves More love

[@Narcomancer1943]

Future hipyo says coils are cringe. Also it’s so strange not to have that buttery smooth commentary on your vids.

[@gr3my]

it works! my keeb looks so fancy schmancy with the coiled cable!

[@mikejason3822]

What would happen if you oven the coiled cable with the rod without using a hot air blower?

[@HipyoTech]

No idea, but my housemates won't let me use the oven to find out

[@aaditshah567]

Do the coils stay in place?

[@HipyoTech]

The higher the heat the better they stay in place

[@Sayject]

Hey! nice video man, imam have to try this.

[@JulianRonaldo-j9l]

really helpful video hipyo. now I have a coiled cable.(I reversed mine though)

[@Rx003]

Oh yes I needed this tutorial

[@mohamedalahmed1064]

Thank you soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Crnniger]

but isnt the blowdryer gonna harm the cable

[@mohamedalahmed1064]

It help me a lot !!!!!!!

[@mohamedalahmed1064]

I did this on 100 cables

[@mohamedalahmed1064]

And it works

[@kamea2202]

Still looks good though 👍🏽

[@HipyoTech]

Thanks!

[@equinox7137]

Mans took the rod off a swiffer, guarantee it.

[@HipyoTech]

Yoo you got it

[@dronedude9013]

Is 10ft enough cable for plugging it into the pc?

[@HipyoTech]

Totally depends on how far away your PC is from your keyboard on your desk. Some people only have a few feet. I personally left 3ish feet of long cable so I could still plug it in

[@serpentstriker1000]

If it works imma try to sell coiled cables on ebay. Thanks for the tutorial. Great job!.

[@HireMichaelEverson]

I'd spend the $30-$80 for a fancy one that has all the metal stuff, but I just don't want to spend that money lol thanks! I got a couple spare cords I'll try this with.

[@quirkfn]

does it still work without blowdrying it

[@mohamedalahmed1064]

I like my cables now

[@calistaa4328]

i was the 400th like :D

[@Tuomachii]

Can i do this to my normal cable

[@brando3465]

Woah, I got one of hipyos silent videos in my recommended.

[@HipyoTech]

Pog

[@balifeefy]

Mine didn’t work i’m still sitting in front of my desk and trying again, again and again And i can’t it just breaks when i carefully take it out of The rod

[@BanAndOra]

What type of usb is this?

[@granthuffmanreal]

Does the coiled cord affect the speed or preformance at all?

[@HipyoTech]

Nope! They have no affect on the performance!

[@excaliber2845]

I have everything I need

[@underrated-simracer]

You also need to turn it on the other way on the rot

[@kuyusama]

Could I use a lighter ?? Or nah

[@HipyoTech]

Probably not hahaha get a proper heat gun

[@sk1ttlnko]

i tried to do this and i cut my cable

[@Realshaddow]

I wanted to do this myself but my mum thought it would be unsafe afterwards

[@dyrok]

Howdy hey

[@lulu5243]

reverse coil it so itll be tight

[@mikejason3822]

Trick for a tighter coil is to reverse it after cooling down. See this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpjVo3dnbKd1Ztk kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIaboHqbpLhrd5I&ab_channel=BriannaWestervelt

[@HipyoTech]

Thanks! Very helpful!

[@mikejason3822]

I added a better video I found just now to the comment.

[@cashewyum2156]

Does this work eoth rubber cables?

[@HipyoTech]

Probably yes

[@imdanielw]

You should try reversing the coil

[@HipyoTech]

I think I'll try another go in January! I have a lot better ideas 😃

[@wiwibaguette6683]

my man spelt at least as atleast

[@tanlmfao]

ima just put in in the microwave

[@Aura56-ok8ji]

Did it work?

[@tanlmfao]

@@Aura56-ok8ji yeah you should try it. if you put ur custom build in with it it makes the PCB more effective and switches more thoccier too!
