    I think for a chemist it's less confusing that the general term "acrylic" stands for a dozen different recipes and compositions with differing properties; they're the ones who come up with those recipes! Btw, it's the same with many other plastics. The name only really tells you the main ingredient. Additives and their amounts can vary greatly.

      It does get a lot less confusing the more you know about it but admittedly that kind of in-depth knowledge is mostly irrelevant to everyday joe.
      Seeing things get overgeneralized or mislabled, or whatever can be anywhere from annoying to funny depending on context but throwing around even more acronyms for people to juggle would probably get even more confusing really quickly, not to say make mixups even more of a problem.
      Besides, I think Jay did a decent job of touching on the core of that topic, as far as normal people are concerned.

    I only use PMMA tubes. I'm not using cheap soft plastic tubes(PTEG) in a expensive high end PC. I've found that PETG being easier than Acrylic to work with overblown. Just use the right tools for the materials your using. A good heat gun with precise heat settings makes PMMA heating and bending far easier.

    I was just watching the video and saw you do the cut on the acrylic tube. While cutting by hand is fine, it is soooo much easier if you have a chop-saw with a plastic cutting blade on it. The plastic cutting blade makes great cuts on acrylic, and you don't have to go through the trouble of cutting by hand and having your cut be super slanted. That is how I made my build with acrylic tubes and it made things WAY easier.

    One thing that is worth mentioning that I found after bending all of my own tubes, were the pre-bent sets from EK (I'm sure others make it too). But the pre-bent stuff took so much work out of it, and for the price about 90 bucks gave me more than enough to do my loop with a few to spare.

    Through the keyboard hobby, I learned similar things about PETG and acrylic plates (what the switches ultimately clip into to hold them in place). Obviously, a keyboard plate has no thermal constraints unless something's wrong, but the flexible and durable nature of PETG gives it a very soft bottom-out switch feel. In contrast, acrylic is known to be very rigid and brittle, so it'll give a more solid bottom-out feel but you also run the risk of developing cracks without proper support.

    Did my first custom cooling with Corsairs frosted PMMA and achieved a lot of bends including double S bends. So the material held up with my lack of experience. Good tubing saves you money with fittings also if you can manage to do it right. The only problem with the frosted texture is that you can get visible scratches on it if you are not careful.

And I also just happened to have the Primochill drill bit...so imagine my surprise when I started trimming it down like you do with PETG and hear it sound like it is just fracturing and cracking all over the place, and then shatter on the end. So....I pulled out my fine tooth dovetail saw that I use for woodworking and gut it that way, THEN lightly used the drill bit.....
    EXCELLENT results at that point.
