Review on 🖨️ Enhanced Printing Filament Connector Accessories Material by Matt Conner

I've been looking for an elegant solution to this problem for a long time. I don't like to rely on a filament end sensor. Mainly because my printer tries to eject the last bit of filament after a hit is fired, it gets stuck about 50% of the time and I have to open the extruder to clean it. I prefer to take the remaining scraps from each roll, stitch them together and rewind. I tried a simpler method that never worked well for me. I've also tried using a piece of teflon tubing clipped into a hair straightener. This worked slightly better, but there is always a "bump" where the fuse blew, even with tighter tolerance PTFE tubing. This would either cause my extruder to stall or result in uneven extrusion. I have to report that this solution works better than the others. I plug in the machine, wait about 3 minutes for it to heat up, put the parts to be welded inside and apply a light pressure inside as indicated in the instructions. Then just turn off the device and wait about 5 minutes for it to cool down. When I first tried PETG I didn't wait long enough and the plastic was still very flexible, my fault. There's a slight "flicker" when you press hard, but it's no big deal. Some flush cutters are included and you can easily trim the burrs and even use one of the cutting blades to clean up the weld. There is no difference in thickness, and I can't tear the weld apart with my bare hands. I did a few welds on my printer and it works fine. Overall I am very happy with this tool. It is very easy and intuitive to use. There even seems to be some sort of PID, because as the device gets warmer it draws less and less current. I measured around 25W when switched on and then slowly drops to around 5W as it reaches temperature. That gives me some consolation about the security of such a device, but of course you should never leave something like this plugged in unattended. One area of concern is the tension/deformation of the wires that run through the clamping mechanism. There is some movement there so maybe the wire could fail with repeated use but only time will tell. For the price I think this is a great purchase and will save me a lot of headaches. I can finally start using all the filament scraps I've been saving!
