So this is a fairly complete set in terms of the accessories that come with it. It came with the filament fixing tool itself, as well as a power supply, a pair of flushing pliers (the kind that comes with many 3D printers), a few strips of sandpaper to handle the finished joint after the filament is melted together. The instructions say to heat the tool up for 2-3 minutes and then let it cool down for 4-5 minutes. In practice, I've had the best results by warming it up for 3-4 minutes and letting it cool down for 8-10 minutes. My first try wasn't hot enough and on my second try I opened my jaws before it was cool enough. Nice for the third time. I could feel the filament shrink in the heat and let it cool for a long time. If you open it, you can see where there are small "lightning bolts" on the sides of the thread. I cut it with wire cutters and it looks like a good connection. You'll need to use the included sandpaper to sand off excess filament to ensure it goes through your bowden tube, extruder, and hot end. I pulled on the joint as hard as I could, I couldn't get it to break or separate. so he fused it well. This tool is much easier to use and gives much better results than the small tools you use with a lighter. However, there is little room for improvement. The magnetic base came off very easily so I had to clean it and hot glue it back on which was an easy fix. And the power button on the handle is hard to tell which side is on or off as there is no indicator light. I think adding an on indicator (or better yet, a timer that turns off at the optimal melting temperature) would be a big improvement. Also, the power cord can be a bit longer, but that's not a big deal. You must take steps to ensure you start melting before the end of the filament approaches the extruder when connecting it to a part. is already running on the printer. You need plenty of slack so the tools don't get pulled into the printer and cause an error. spools of thread. You can even save the last few meters of several rolls and combine them into your own color changing roll. If your printer doesn't have a filament run out sensor, this will help ensure filament is fed continuously.
