I bought a role of silicon tubing on Amazon. Snip of a little bit of tubing, shove the two filaments in there and heat with a heatgun Takes a little practice, but works really well, and is super cheap.
"I probably should let this cool down all the way but I'm curious so im gonna open it now" Probably the reason why the other filament splicers didn't work for you
on the clamp on you should use some baking paper, there may be some minor imperfections, but it makes it far more usable than just shoving it in, also for the clamp I recommend making a tool to line up both filaments. I know it's not how it was intended to be used however we learned 3d printing to make our lives easier, rigth?
Just watching the short video on the amazon product page is a good substitute for reading the manual. The video says to let the thing heat to temp before using and to remove when it beeps, letting it cool outside of the splicer.
The second model you show works much better than that for me. Read some tips online about pushing the ends in a bit while it's warm, then let it cool before removing. Two little wings to trim and otherwise perfect.
Maybe this has been mentioned before but i thought the Sunlu fuser had a PTFE cutter built into in the back under the lid (where the melt zone lid is but above that) hope that makes since. I saw a video of someone else using it. You just set it in there and close the lid and it will score the tube. Then just open the lid, pull out the filament and peel of the tube. I am excited to received my Sunlu filament connector. Thanks for making this video.
What is the outer diameter of the PTFE tubing? Just trying to figure out where a person could buy a larger roll of the PTFE at a lower cost than Sunlu is asking for a small amount of PTFE pieces.
Thanks, the first review i watched that compared it to other models. Could you try to reuse an uncut sleeve? I have watched 5 videos now, and manual readers didn't even try to slide it off, and went straight to cutting ;) But I wonder if it shrinks or something.
@@TechieSewing it didn’t shrink, but it got more flimsy. Definitely reusable once, but anything more than that and you might start getting crinkles in your filament
You gotta disclose that they sent this to you, it's considered a sponsorship even if no money exchanged hands. It's still something of value. Imagine if Ferrari gave you a free Ferrari lol, then you're like "What do you mean #ad? Ferrari didn't pay me a dollar!" 😅 That's still something of value and legally you MUST disclose that.

I wanted to like this video, but I don't think it did the product justice. You pointed out multiple times that you didn't read the manual, ok, so why are we watching someone stumble through the product and use it wrong? You should have stopped, read the manual, and then explained the product to us at least after you tried it. For example, that slot near the top that you said, "did nothing," is there to cut the sleeve after melting.
Still 10 times cheaper 😂😂 No matter what you say, paying 10 times the price is still 10 times more expensive. And should you care so much, ptfe is fully recyclable. I don't, so...
It depends heavily on the scale of your operation. If you don't have a heavy 3D print farm operation, you probably won't be doing quite as many prints to warrant doing hundreds of joints, so the cheaper one is considerably more cost effective and less resource intensive. If you do thousands of prints with a fairly large size farm, then you might consider the larger and more expensive device to help the process along. Most general consumers only need something basic and simple, so the cheaper device that does a good job is better
A very useful product! Good testing with pulling the pieces. Just wonder where to get the tubes once they run out, or if the company stops supporting the product. (But why was filmed in vertical video?)
@@JacquesMattelaer tight tinfoil wrap and heat, there are tutorials, sure. but the wrapping takes some time and temperature control is very nice because you don't want to liquifu the filament.

This reminds me of the fusers they use to connect fiber optic cables.
Same
Yup

It was also demonstrated near the end of the video 6:56
@@devilmaycryevil4 wow. I don’t know how I missed that. Thanks and sorry.
You have talent to Complain in different way😂
If he's trying to personify 'wilful ignorance' - Congrats! Ya fucking nailed it. 😂
Thats really neat 👍
I know the instruction manual on that last one says to cut the filament at a 45-degree angle to give more surface area to fuse.
What is the outer diameter of the PTFE tubing? Just trying to figure out where a person could buy a larger roll of the PTFE at a lower cost than Sunlu is asking for a small amount of PTFE pieces.
Likely want to get some " 13 AWG PTFE light walled tubing ". 13 AWG is 1.68 mm dia. The tubing should be about 0.005" thick.
Pretty gooood
Just another kid that gets it for free for doing a yt review and no idea how it works. But hey ik got it for free 🤓
He said it’s not a review, did not mention it’s sponsored, and didn’t share a link…and you come to this conclusion, how exactly?
Had you read the manual or watched a video on this you would know the cutting function is to cut the plastic tube off.
He literally used it for that at the end of the video lol
Do you have a link to purchase the Sunlu?

Second this! I’m frustrated LOL…
Bro read thr manual please 😅 the knife is probably for the tube to cut
Now how would the tube cut the knife?
He used it to cut the tube, which seems to make way more sense.
Girl watch the fucking video. Lol😅
Slunaz had been around longer and does a lot better. Their machine fully automates the process
Yeah, and is 300€, while Sunlu's is 33€, one set of 200 tubes included.😂😂

Might be 1.8 ID x 2.2 OD tubing.

sunlu fc01. it's on preorder, youtubers probably got review samples before general public can buy.

Great sharing:)wondering if our service(pcb/3dp/cnc) could contribute to your project!
yes!we would like to have a partnership with u:)
Interesting! :V
RTFM
Nothing more annoying than portrait videos.
can just use those small tube plus a regular solder hot air gun to fuse
nice talent "complain" and "not reading a manual" and "complain again"
RTFM
