So far all the cable comb packs come with only the standard sizes. 2x2, 2x3, 2x4 and 2x12. So before I go cutting and gluing my own Id like to know if there is a brand i can get that has odd sized combs. For instance my gpu is two 8 pins that id like to combine with a 2x8 comb. Sata power are a smaller gauge and are 2x5. Is there such a thing for combs?

OCool. Wow these are awesome. Yeah that'll do fine thank you.

There's no 10 cable combs, but it at least gets you a 16. Then you're not stuck trying to glue parts of combs together.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

That's what I thought too. I really do need to get one of them at some point.

That's okay there's all kinds of shapes and sizes here I never even thought of. Should be fun 🙂

Just be aware that the "closed" combs, you'll need a tool for taking the pins out of connectors to wire them through.

I wished I took some photo's but I did print some combs for a buddy of mine who was doing up his rig. Perfect application for a 3D printer. I used an SLA (Resin) printer with a custom mix of a green and a translucent resin for green tinted translucent combs.

If all you have to print is combs it doesn’t make sense to buy one.  The most expensive comb I saw there was ¢80.  Already have one or even have a buddy who has one or are near a public library that has one it could be cheaper to print them than buy them.  That doesn’t happen all that often.
