My $1 Chinese cable stopped working so I soldered up my own using the usb heads and some 20awg wire from a dead power supply.
Anyone else recycle dead parts like this or make their own accessories?
It's even faster than the stock cable and convenient to take out, even if it's not very pretty it works incredibly well. 32cm length, 20awg though wire.
Also wired it up to charge only, no data because fuck you fast charge is good.

I use an old 3330 case as an ashtray

I guess that counts.

A power supply like a computer one? That sounds pretty cool. Do you just wrap where they meet in sugru or something?

I don't dislike these threads but diy exists for a reason

That cable probably goes beyond what I'd ever attempt, but I've made 4-pin power cables before (similar to pic), and network cables.
I've also fixed my mouse by swapping (using soldering iron) the left and right buttons because the left click was sometimes double, triple, or even quad clicking. That shit got annoying quick. The right-click doesn't seem to mind the flaky button (probably because it's mainly just for showing a popup menu). So now the mouse works like new again.

Yeah, an atx power supply. My family has a pc repair shop so I have a few dead ones lying around for personal projects. Going to make a fast charge adapter for my girlfriend but I'm also going to include a capacitor and inductor just to clean the circuit out a little since cheap chargers can have shitty ripple. See pic.
And my cable soldered up, then wrapped in hot glue and shrink tube. I want it to last a lot longer than the cheap Chinese one.
20awg is way overkill for that length though, 26awg at 1m is enough for most people, 24awg for the more tech literate people.

Shit, sorry.
Made a thread on diy. But feel free to contribute to either thread since this one walks the line between boards.

I'm FUCKIN reporting you for reporting my report reporting your false alarm report.
>>53534895
Looks like a repository probe covered in Vaseline, dotting the carpet with turd juice from an ass standing over this bomb-like device. Reported your ass.
>>53534895
>repository
Meant to say suppository.
>>53535570
Reported your report
>>53535643
Reported your report again because that made two already.
>>53535586
Repository sounds like report. FUck yourself my man i reported that.
>>53535570
Thanks. You beat me to it, slick.

old low-powered PSU doing nothing else
>>53534210
Well,nothing fancy,but since here,in Romania,it gets awfully hot inside during the summer,I improvise myself a cooling fan (like those little ones that you keep in your hand) out of a 92mm AVC fan hooked up to the 12v rail of any PSU. (a Deer DR-B400ATX)
15 feet long cable for cheap Chinese mono headphones
>>53535932
Put a potentiometer between the PSU and PSU fan because the darn thing was making too much noise, like 60 dB on no load.
Now I can regulate the speed myself
>>53535891
Ausfag here.
On the second floor of my home it gets pretty hot too so I rigged this up to my desktop psu
>>53535964
Repurposed old broken Chinese Android phone as download box by installing Debian chroot on it
>>53535982
Made cardboard+aluminum foil PCBs for keks

Just how much cable clutter does your case have?
>>53536005
Another specimen, this time an LED and atmega8
>>53536005
This is wonderful
The furthest I went was to make small circuits out of pure cabling, no surfaces allowed (not that I had any to begin with).
Made a desktop watch I have on a desk corner at work.
>>53536028
That's pretty fucking hilarious. Nice work
>>53536028
Made a bomb prototype (this was after the clock kid event) for fun
I programmed it to set a pin at high after it hits 9999 seconds on the segment display
Actually I wanted to use it to turn on the TV at particular times
>>53536026
>case
>>53535977
Noice.
Mine is just one fan,since the two AVCs I extracted from a defunct HP are at insane RPMs,thus they move out tons of air.
>>53536121
haha
>>53536330
It's an atom d2500.
I got it for $15, used an old 150GB velociraptor, HD5450 and 380 earthwatts psu.
I'm not spending any more money on it.
>>53536104
>not actually making a real fake bomb
could make you money bro
I used to play a lot fo indoor airsoft, one of the local seriifs used to play there also, he built some crazy arduino fake bomb.
Had a keybad, buzzer, blinky lights and everything
was pretty fun, he could reset the code before the match so we actually had to find the code before attempting to disarm.
Was also setup so you could to drop/arm the bomb counter strike style if you wanted too.
Sell them for like $150 for paintball/airsoft players
>>53535982
>chroot
I want this skid meme to end
>>53536843
Get rekt fag, I did not use any app do it, instead I built the chroot from ground up in an IMG file
>>53536888
>get rekt ahahaha
saying words you don't even understand. wtf faggot, dont even make any sense
>time to use some of this so called "internet lingo"
>am i cool yet guys?
