"RED LINE" Custom PC
Using PETG Tubing and Older parts, I wanted to make a decent gaming PC, but a better Multimedia PC. I play a lot of different games and will be upgrading to a new GPU soon. This is the first time using hard line tubing, and it is much more difficult than I thought it would be. I have learned quickly that once you make one bend, regardless of angle, IF AND ONLY IF you want to continue that same angle, and ONLY increase the angle. That is basically the only thing you can do after the first bend. If you try to bend it back straight or bend it to a different axis, it will; 1. Bubble up, 2. It will wrinkle up and cause the bend to fold on top of itself and rip. After reading this, and you only get one thing from this, it is DO NOT try to re-bend unless you really know what you are doing, YOUR BEST BET IS TO PROPERLY MEASURE TWICE AND BEND/CUT ONCE. It is the only way to have the perfect diameter is to not over heat or over bend.
ANY SUGGESTIONS OR ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRICATED. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS POST.
