Hyte custom loop

I can see that some don't realize you have to make a thread for commenting on builds, so I'll make one. Hopefully those who commented will come back and see this.

[azure glen]

For just the loop? Like 700

[kindred copper]

Oh wow, that’s not bad. What about the case and everything else?

[azure glen]

Hard tubing for your first custom loop… you are very ambitious

I decided before I spent any money on my loop that I was going to 1: use hardline and 2: use no 90 degree fittings. And I did it.. worth the work!

Next time, you should try making a loop with glass tubing. They’re tough not because of bending (you can’t bend glass yourself, you’ve got to order it pre-bent), but because you need to plan them perfectly so that each run makes as few turns as possible, and you’ve got to make strategic use of angle and extender fittings. The payoff is that they’re so much clearer than PETG.

I didn't use petg. I used frosted acrylic

😅 hard to tell from photos. I tend to assume PETG, since it’s by far the most common
