3D printing is a relatively new way to mass-produce parts, and that comes with a slight learning curve on the part of both industry (how to make the machines reliable) and you, the buyer. The issue comes down to this: I have heard that a single strand of dental floss will probably not work well pulling a car up a hill. Now, I know what you’re going to say: “crappy dental floss!”, or even “get a smaller car!” But in reality, the floss wasn’t designed to pull a car, any more than the 4CELNK-YR clips are intended to handle all …
Category: 4CELNK-YR OR3V Series
4CELNK-YR OR3V Series cable clips are specially designed to fit the Obutto oZone and R3volution gaming sim-rigs.
4CELNK-YR OR3V makes that rig look SHARP
You Obutto oZone and R3volution users know you live for the gaming! You know it’s awesome to have the rig set up just right. All the wires and cables…just….right. Messy cables are for inferior dweebs, duh! E’rebody knows that. But then, no matter what, eventually, it happens. The pure joy and the ongoing agony of a new toy. A better set of pedals. A righteous backlit gaming keyboard. A new A-10 Thrust controller. Another new screen. Those sweet LFEs you’ve been holding out for. A DRINK COOLER. Yeah, that required period of self-inflicted “character building” delayed-gratification BS is finally over! …
Stock Becomes Inventory!
Well, the day finally arrived, and I started putting together parts stock into packaged units, ready for shipping. Cool! Cheers! Rando
First printed package inserts, ready to make “stuff”
Closer yet…Four stacks of 1pc each product-inserts for each of the SKUs. Four lines, 20 SKUs in total. Next up is packaging (at least) one of each of those and getting photos of those for the product pages. Then there’s a few more types of photos left in the process, but then it’s on to posting and creating PayPal buttons for my private site, and then on to eBay. Woohoo! Another short post ;-). Cheers, everyone! Rando
Let the Data Entry begin
Woohoo…I now have a “product line”…branded even! Getting closer every step of the way. That’s all for now :D. Rando
Draft Instruction Sheets first appear
First draft of Base-Kit packaging insert. Still a ways to go, but getting there! :D. By way of comparison, remember that each photo in this is a 25MPixel image, in full-resolution in the source. How much makes it to the eventual web page is open to conjecture :D. It’s amazing the speed of progress I’m making on this project. Cheers! Rando
Initial Retail Packaging Experiments
And here we have the first two prototype retail packages of “2018-027-101 4CELNK-YR OR3V Kit v0.1” Six of the large, three of the small, with 40 bands (2-3 each is typical). Note the trick logo…see? Wires….snort snort…we’ll get a better one soon 😀. These are going to a gentleman and his wife, for their twin gaming rigs, down in Oklahoma. Cheers! Rando.
I think this might just work!
TL/DR: Presenting 2018-027 4CELNK-YR Gaming-specific Wire Retention Device. Wow…feels like it’s been too many days since I’ve shown anything new and fun. Okay, so here goes. New product, this one with possible legs. You all probably know the 4CELNK-branded brackets I sell. Well, one of those customers asked me to solve a problem they have: the only one making custom wire-retention devices is gouging them, and the product isn’t very good. Can Thom please make a better one? Well heck yeah! This little beauty can hold four power cords in the “permanent” area, and then another EIGHT (SJT) power cords …
Adding and Removing Cables
Adding Cables Now comes the easy part! Grasp the inside arm with one hand. Push the cable against the outside arm until you can press the cable into the capture area. Optional: Stand back and ask “whoa…where’s the cut tie-wrap?” Removing Cables Here’s where it gets impossible for tie-wraps… Separate the cable you want to remove from the others in the bundle. Grasp the outside arm with one hand. Push the cable against the inside arm until there’s enough room between the arms to pull it out. Do NOT throw wasted tie-wraps in the garbage…since there are none. CAUTION: …
Warnings & Cautions
Please keep the following in mind when using 4CELNK-YR cable clips: Watch for damaged, worn, frayed or otherwise dangerous cables, and replace all that are unsafe. Dangling, partially-secured cords beneath desks, tables, and in shelving can in some instances present electrocution and strangling hazards. Be wary! The 4CELNK-YR arms are closely spaced, and there is spring tension holding them together. Use with care to avoid getting pinched or struck by the arms. 4CELNK-YR Cable Clips are not UL-Listed, they are not specially plenum-rated, nor are they flame-retardant. 4CELNK-YR Cable Clips are not a “safety device”. 4CELNK-YR Cable Clips are not …
