Yes please! A crimping tutorial would be awesome. I don't know how many fan crimps I've wasted and I still don't have that down. It's probably my failing eyesight. *grumbles about getting old*
Don't say that you're wasting peoples time. It's great that you're methodical and do a full complete tutorial. Much better than a 2 min quickguide which you have to pause and repeat over and over to see what's going on. Thanks for all the sleeving guides, and I'll be looking forward to a guide on crimping.
Best in the business. I'm proud to say with confidence, and personal experience, that people with OCD are always the best people to do the highest quality detailed work. That's not to say having OCD is fun since sometimes it can be agonizing to always feel to need fufill your compulsions.
This is incredible man! I have never found any similar guides on Chinese websites and you do a really brilliant and detailed job! I would try sleeving my SATA cables this weekend and hopefully I can do as good as you can!
Yup I have seen those. I used to use an jig - but with how many of these I have done I can eyeball it and use the method I did and it works great. Also sometimes I put a slight bow on them so they dont shrink unevenly. We also sell a fully adjustable jig in our shop, its a bit more but will last.
excellent videos mate, have really enjoyed watching your guides and learning new things, am going to give sleeving my pc in the next couple of months, will deffinately refer back to your guides. Thanks again and God bless. oh and MOLEX! haha :P
This helped ton, thanks! Subbed, due the good videos in humour-section too. Mostly when I see +30 minutes video, I think "booooooring" but your videos are so entertaining and same time educating & instructive.
Awesome! Love you attitude, thanks for your time, passion and sharing all these with us! It really warms the heart to see people like you around. Have a good one and yes, please keep it coming, excellent work! ;D
Good video! I just got a pair of Sennheiser headphones, and I'm thinking about grabbing an extra cord and doing a little project like this to make it more travel friendly. I love stuff like this, thanks for the video brother!
Cool tutorial though it is possible to use a paper guillotine to cut the heat shrink. Keep up the good guides. Sorry I edited the comment as it came out wrong.
A heatgun is pefered because it does not bring too much direct heat to the shrink and sleeve as a lighter would do. With a lighter you most propably burn and melt the shrink as well as the sleeve. If you want good results you better go for a heat gun.
Thanks much for the time you took to make these videos and showing how to get a good sleeving job done. Might I be so bold as to suggest that you get a pair of Vise Grips, Yes I did say Vise Grips :) and some Gorilla Tape, yup Gorilla Tape :) and wrap the Jaws of the Vise Grip with the Gorilla Tape, SO you don't get the Jaw marks from the Vise Grips on your sleeving / Cable and it would help with Not Crapping the Fingers. Just an Idea Yes ? No ? Maybe? & subbed Thanks again.
Sadly probably not. Most hair driers cannot get hot enough to shrink the HS fully and also melt some of the plastic under it. However a heatgun is cheap both at my shop or a local hardware store. Just make sure you get one with a reducer nozzle.
Hi, Lutro0. Thanks so much for uploading so many sleeving guides. Are you planning on uploading a sleeving tutorial for SATA power/molex cables? I've wanted to start sleeving for some time now but the lack of good and detailed SATA power sleeving guides is holding me back. :( Thanks.
i only thought people pimped their psu cables. this was new and gave me some ideas. good video dude, thanks. what diameter of heatshrink and sleeve are u using for this?
Got me some MDPC sleeving and heatshrink this morning, gonna see if I can't make a good job of my sata cables. On a right-angle connector, would you suggest sliding the heatshrink on from the other end? Seems like it might be a little easier than getting it over the 90° bend. But thanks for the tutorials, very handy! Mmmmmolex.
i wish lustroo sold premade custom cables where you can define the length and sleeving on the site and have it sent to you, i'd pay high price for some cables tbh.
You say to tape the cable white for a better look, would heat shrinking the whole cable white underneath work or would it become too stiff? Also nice work with these tutorials, they have helped me make a pretty sweet tidy rig.
Amazing work & vids, absolutly love your new innovations like the heatshrinkless sleeving. I have a question, you siad that you did not like the little curve on the shrink, why did this occur, was it because it was not perfectly straight when cut? maybe a guilotine or custom made tool like a guilotine woule get perfect cuts? Mark
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to share this info, it really helps. Is there a reason why you did not use Super Glue on the ends like you did with the fan cables?
Great guide, thank you! Do you sell this particular heatshrink and sleeve stuff? If yes, could you pass on the exact specifications of each, dimensions, etc. I just fail at figuring out the skus I need to do the same! Thx
I did check your store, but was unable to find the exact product you used for these sata cables. I would need the dimensions of sleeves and other specs if it's not too much trouble.
This is only the second of your tuts I have hit thus far, but I notice you never use a heat knife. Rather you will snip the ends and then singe with a lighter. Is there any reason you do not use a heat knife?
Yes, a heat knife will melt too much of the sleeve. When I use a snips and a lighter I can also feather the sleeve to a more narrow diameter without having it stick. Infact when I use teleios I normally dont even use a lighter to melt the ends as it will hold fine.
Ive got a phone charger that is super ugly the plug is about as big as a sata cable but the cable is less fat should i get sata sleeving or can i force regular sleeving over the plug are all mdpc sleeves that elastic
The jig can be made any way you want. Just make sure the width is wide enough for your heatshrink and at least 15mm length to be cut. 15mm is the normal length for heatshrinkstyle and works perfect for heatshrinkless as well.
Lutro0! You're a crazy PERFECTIONIST! Thank you so much for all these awesome sleeves' video! I laugh so hard watching you being so damn Perfect! but I DO like them all, and please DON'T tease/pick on your wife, LOL... Again, Thanks for being so Generous!!! You're a NICE person!

good video regardless of the time. You were the one to take time out of your day to help others.
bro, im from indonesia. thanks for ure tutorial, maybe this week i will try.. u help and give me much idea
Yeah Lutro's guides are very detailed
I like your videos cause you show everything which can happen to us VERY GOOD JOB
Heatshrink is under heatshrink and sleeve is under specialty PET.
The materials in the video were MDPC and can be ordered from his shop. =D
Yup I have seen those. I used to use an jig - but with how many of these I have done I can eyeball it and use the method I did and it works great. Also sometimes I put a slight bow on them so they dont shrink unevenly.

Thank you for this video as it has given me another option for my new machine build.

Thanks so much for all the great videos and The how to order on MDPC-X. keep up the great work and I'm so glad I finally found your website.
Very nice detailed guide man.Look forward into more of your sleeving guides.Cheers!
Awesome! Love you attitude, thanks for your time, passion and sharing all these with us!

Love the full length videos thank you very much!

Cool tutorial though it is possible to use a paper guillotine to cut the heat shrink. Keep up the good guides. Sorry I edited the comment as it came out wrong.
no worries, i went through a few methods over the years and a sharp large blade with a stationary guide always helped.
Great job on all of your tutorials !
Excellent Work once again.
Yup I would put it on the other side, it would be kinda hard on the 90 degree side.
hey dude you rock! I'll email you my rig when it gets hot enough cause at that point I'll be building a water cooling system.
A heatgun is pefered because it does not bring too much direct heat to the shrink and sleeve as a lighter would do. With a lighter you most propably burn and melt the shrink as well as the sleeve. If you want good results you better go for a heat gun.
@muppenz Thanks for the kind comment bud!
As you said: there is indeed a way to cut this a whole lot easier if you had rotated the tube 180 on the ruler. measure from 0 and directly cut it.
These vids are gold.
Great job man. Excited to do this on my next rig.
thanks for tutorial, i was looking for that all day :D
That unknown blue-ish color cable is UV Blue. I have a few of those in an old rig I built.
Thank you so much for these videos, you're doing a great job!
If you were doing white sleeving Newegg sells silver sata cables that would look good under white sleeving.
Yes that would, also a thin layer of white electrical tape works wonders.
Never mind, I learned how sleeve and create custom SATA power cables.
I like the bow.
Thanks, this is a great tutorial!
(if a bit all over the place xD)

i only thought people pimped their psu cables. this was new and gave me some ideas. good video dude, thanks. what diameter of heatshrink and sleeve are u using for this?
If you check my faq on OCN it will give you at least a starting point. I do plan on doing a few videos for that as there is many methods.
haha... the actual sleeving doesn't take long. But explaining it sure does.
How to make an interesting 10 min. video into a 30 min. nightmare. DANG!!!!
Thanks! I'll have to try , Great tutoral
great video, helped alot!
4:36 cracked me open, "have, have.. yeeeesh-__-"
I use 8mm or 10mm sleeving and 1/2in HS from my shop.
Subbed, gonna try it ! :D thx for all the guides!
You can use a lighter but a heatgun would be prefered for these jobs - moreso if you use colored shrink you need to use a heatgun to not scorch it.
Wow! amazing Vidz sir. keep up the good work! 3 thumbs up!
Thanks for the video - very helpful :)!
thanks for the awesome guide !
funny how everything you do just takes you a few seconds :D
I sure do!
I think I'll buy a pre sleeved sata data on this one
if you dont want to spend the money on a heat gun, tho there are some pretty inexpensive ones. a lighter will work
Got me some MDPC sleeving and heatshrink this morning, gonna see if I can't make a good job of my sata cables. On a right-angle connector, would you suggest sliding the heatshrink on from the other end? Seems like it might be a little easier than getting it over the 90° bend.
But thanks for the tutorials, very handy! Mmmmmolex.
You can do both, but its hard to find heatshrink that will fit and shrink down all the way, perhaps mdpc sata white would work.
Or you could use a white Sata cable that you can easily find on frozencpu
i wish lustroo sold premade custom cables where you can define the length and sleeving on the site and have it sent to you, i'd pay high price for some cables tbh.
So many explosions going on in this video! BOOM this BOOM that! LOL jk, thanks for the video man, very explanatory.
You say to tape the cable white for a better look, would heat shrinking the whole cable white underneath work or would it become too stiff? Also nice work with these tutorials, they have helped me make a pretty sweet tidy rig.

You sir are an artist. Any chance of getting that SATA power cable, just about the last one left :)
We do sell them. email sleever@lutro0customs.com
If only there were a selection FUCKING SATA CABLES IN MY COUNTRY
@BigJayDogg2009 I plan on doing a full series on just those here very soon, I have been battling some back problems so it might be a little while.
Great video! Thanks for taking the time to share this info, it really helps. Is there a reason why you did not use Super Glue on the ends like you did with the fan cables?
I normally do, just didnt for this video as it can be messy for people starting out. But I always use it when I make cables for others
Thanks buddy!
Thanks, Great Video.
yes corsair make it in white
Thanks!
Would help if you gave the size of the sleeve material and the size of the heat shrink
i just want to ask what diameter of paracord i need for my EVGA PSU?
Thank You
Are you going to have a guide on the SATA power cables?
cool tutorial, if i do my sleeving i'll do it with yours movies :>
Great guide, thank you! Do you sell this particular heatshrink and sleeve stuff? If yes, could you pass on the exact specifications of each, dimensions, etc. I just fail at figuring out the skus I need to do the same! Thx
Thanks man!
Check out my store is in the descrip
I did check your store, but was unable to find the exact product you used for these sata cables. I would need the dimensions of sleeves and other specs if it's not too much trouble.
Do you need a heat gun? or can you just use long gas lighters? for lighting ovens and what not?
hi, thx for video (old but still usable :) ) . Can you tell diameter of heat shrink and sleeve?
This is only the second of your tuts I have hit thus far, but I notice you never use a heat knife. Rather you will snip the ends and then singe with a lighter. Is there any reason you do not use a heat knife?
Yes, a heat knife will melt too much of the sleeve. When I use a snips and a lighter I can also feather the sleeve to a more narrow diameter without having it stick. Infact when I use teleios I normally dont even use a lighter to melt the ends as it will hold fine.
what is the right diameter for the heat shrink for SATA cable ?
And for regular sleeving, is 1/8" heatshrink ok for the job ?
Would it be possible to use a hair dryer with say a adapter that focuses the heat a little bit to do the same thing as a heat gun?
Lutro0, why don't you sell any other colours of heatshrink in your shop other than black? Am I just stupid enough to not find the other colours?
what is size of the white sleeve and the shrink , thank you awesome job
great video! quick question, on mainframe they only offer the tellios sata sleeving in 1 foot length, how come?
Could you also use a lighter for the heatshrink?
Ive got a phone charger that is super ugly the plug is about as big as a sata cable but the cable is less fat should i get sata sleeving or can i force regular sleeving over the plug are all mdpc sleeves that elastic
What size heat shrink are you using? And do you have a link to where you’re purchasing the sleeving
"It will only take a couple of seconds"
*Looks at 30 min video duration*
...ok
Would it be possible for you to give us exact measurements for jig?
The jig can be made any way you want. Just make sure the width is wide enough for your heatshrink and at least 15mm length to be cut. 15mm is the normal length for heatshrinkstyle and works perfect for heatshrinkless as well.
lutro0
Thank you for info
+lutro0 Very clean job guy. blue thumb
If you want 50 percent coverage I would try techflex pet from furryletters on ebay. Heatshrink I would check out my store, link is in the descrip
Molex. Hahahahahahah...Awesome!
Is the heatshrink necessary? What if I just slide the cable in the sleeve and that's it, let it be slightly loose?
It would look terrible, and it needs something to hold it down.
I always heard a yellow lighter is bad luck haha
Lutro0!
You're a crazy PERFECTIONIST! Thank you so much for all these awesome sleeves' video! I laugh so hard watching you being so damn Perfect! but I DO like them all, and please DON'T tease/pick on your wife, LOL...
