How to join your filament.
What you will need:
Safety Gloves
Soldering Iron
Step 1
Securely mount your soldering iron down and heat the soldering iron to around 250°C.
Step 2
Insert both ends of the filament into the Filament Welder, leaving a gap for the soldering iron tip. If needed, adjust the Filament Welder by loosening the two Cylindrical Bolts and then retightening them.
Step 3
Place the soldering iron into the Filament Joiner
Step 4
Do the next 4 steps in quick succession:
Press both ends of the filament onto the tip of the soldering iron.
Step 5
Quickly remove the soldering iron from the Filament Joiner
Step 6
Press the molten filament ends together.
Pull the filament into the white block on the Filament Joiner to help shape the weld.
Step 8
Step 7
After a few seconds, remove the filament from the Filament Joiner by either pulling it through (being careful not to break the weld) or loosening the two bolts and removing the Filament Joiner from the filament.
Step 9
If needed, clean up the weld with a craft knife.
