I watched it thoroughly and still managed to do all the wrong ways; overheating, not heating 10 or so MM to either side of the bend, and starting the bend to early or to late. This guy is spot on. I like the free hand as well, and agree the silicone tube is a must with soapy water to get it back out. It really helps. Thanks for a great and informative video.
10-15 **CM**. Which when the hand is spread. Is roughly the span from the tip of your thumb, to the tip of your index finger Hope that helps, have a good one Edit: have*
I wanna build an water cooled system in a month so I was looking dor some videos to learn how petg tubing works and this is almost the BEST video about it. Thank you so much.
We really appreciate that comment! If you do get a chance, we'd love to know what information we could include in a new video that you think we may have missed in this one. :) Otherwise, hope you enjoy building your water-cooled system!
@@ThermaltakeAustralia Actually there could be a few informations about the size of the tubes. Eventually a.e. if there is a difference if you use 12mm tubes or 16mm tubes. But it was just a Video about the bending and I would say that you gave every information a amateur needs to hard tube on his own
i would have loved if he showed us how to do a 90 degree bend at the end of the tube, i find this quite common in my builds as i cannot always source 1 meter tubing so i need to more stingy with it, but often i ruin it regardless..:(
Not sure if I understand your problem correctly but you could bend a larger section of the tube in half and cut most of it on one side. That way you would get a tube with a 90 degree angle at the end.
Hey mate! We sure do, we have both a 13mm kit and a 16mm kit - the later being the most common. www.scorptec.com.au/product/Custom-Water-Cooling/Tubing/67634-CL-W093-AL00BL-A?gclid=Cj0KCQiA-bjyBRCcARIsAFboWg3aHHBGy4xJCrrDVTWq14zIZJ0rfqFGKa0Zhtgan_rfFmH1DQ3MaKMaAp-ZEALw_wcB
Hey Ahmed! Unfortunately not, the silicon insert is made to withstand head from a heat-gun and hold it's shape inside the tube so it doesn't allow it to kink.
@@ThermaltakeAustralia so please can you tell me where I can buy that silicon insert is it available on amazon.us cz I have no other source to buy I have just one last last question please please please reply that will this petg 500mm hard tube fit perfectly in the thermaltake pacific rl120 cooling kit please please please reply.............
*lol, but his bend by hand has such a big radius compared to the bend with the mandrel. I'm not sure how he can use that freehand bend in a practical way.*
The example used in this video was not the tightest you can go with freehand, mandrels are still awesome but Nick does prefer freehand bending as it feels and looks more "natural".
spend $500 on the coolant system to find out you need to spend another $80 just to bend pipes? This should come with this kit. Things are so expensive with you guys.

Hows your building coming along? I'm starting mine now. 16mm tubes gives it a more wow factor. Like having a Microsoft font set to bold to stand out.
Great video. I think though you should do a follow up showing the installation of the tubing & figuring out where you bends should go in a case.
For sure, we'll be doing a video overview on a bunch of different fittings and how tubing connects to them as well.
I love how that guy is smiling non-stop
over heating tubes kinda gives the PETG an aesthetic look :)
Well demonstrated, can't be any better, thank you
would love to see how you measure the exact distance of where you need to bend.
Oh after smoothing out the edges I use deionized water to rinse out the excess PETG,
Does silicon insert's size really matter

Thanks~Thanks~and Many Thanks!
Great video
Do you have the set of these small tools to buy for tubing shaping?
Hey mate! We sure do, we have both a 13mm kit and a 16mm kit - the later being the most common. www.scorptec.com.au/product/Custom-Water-Cooling/Tubing/67634-CL-W093-AL00BL-A?gclid=Cj0KCQiA-bjyBRCcARIsAFboWg3aHHBGy4xJCrrDVTWq14zIZJ0rfqFGKa0Zhtgan_rfFmH1DQ3MaKMaAp-ZEALw_wcB
Please please reply can we use the soft tube comes with kit when bending this tube instead of that silicon tube ???????
Please please reply.

If your computer got hot enough would it cause the petg to warp and leak?
At that heat all of your components would die before the tubes started to melt
Why can't I get the silicon bending insert into the thermaltake hard tube? It's quite hard to get the silicon inside the hole. What should I use?
The right size probably, or lubricant
@@scheve332 I used oil :(
use KY for easy insertion hahahah use water and soap!
How long is the silicone cord?
Long enough !

Arrrggghhhh,,, The dents on the timber edges of the table. :( :(
The power of PETG!! 💯💯😱
@@ThermaltakeAustralia Hahahahahaha. Well done.
Pretty much bored with soft tubing, time to graduate to PETG.

fUNNY DUDE LOL xd
