I bought a little cable tester. got tired of guessing all the time.

annoyingly. this thing requires 5v usb power and doesn’t accept PD.
it was even able to help me diagnose a usb-c cable that only worked flipped one way.
I’ve got the same one! (but red)
Worth every penny, it’s saved me so many headaches. Very good at testing fraying cables too.
So, time to spill beans.
With @Titoxd1000’s support, I’ve been experimenting with experimental bushing setups on Nothing Fancy. He machined an experimental hanger for a square bushing, and has provided me with some custom bushing shapes, both round and square.
Nothing fancy has been rear hangerless for a few weeks, as he made deeper modifications to the bushing seat
But the hanger is remounted, ready for experimentation. He lent me a whole bag of bushings to play with, excited to share what I find.
Can’t wait to hear your findings about them!
