Filament Splicer
Project cancelled, click here to read why
The idea for Filament Splicer was born about a month after our Ultimaker 3D Printer was build. As cool as 3D Printing is, printing in one color is boring.
Users of normal, single head FFF/FDM printers are stuck with single color unless they join filament pieces together to produce one multi-colored string. It is not very complicated but process is quite awkward and you will get fed up very quickly.
If you want to have proper, stable filament join you need to have right temperature on the tip of plastic when you connect pieces together. This is hard to achieve when you use some arbitrary heat source. You either underheat or overheat and burn the plastic. Using print head of your printer is best 'ad-hoc' solution but it leaves quite a mess on it, you cannot print when you splice and plastic which is in the head slowly gets burned while you take time to splice your string.
Then, of course there is issue with forming of the joint, carpet knife and fingers where our favorite tools for that job but it took quite a long time to form each joint.
We have had our share of failed prints due to broken joints / stuck filament and finally decided to create a device which will help to splice filament. Initial idea was to create fully automated unit: you place filament ends on copper block, close it, push the button and viola - you have your joint. That was the theory.... In practice this is impossible because PLA and ABS expand during heat-up and contract during cool down, this results in either no joint at all or bubble-filled mess.
Many headache filled days [Even best PLA is really nasty stuff when you breath it in for a while] later we dropped the idea and went for 'open' model with precisely manufactured grooves which help to quickly heat up, connect and form joints.
Thermal insulation was another challenge, we wanted to allow up to 260c temperature but nothing could properly insulate enclosure from hot copper block for prolonged period of time. Ceramic fiber thermal tape can take that heat but one needs a lot of it and then there is itching... Chinese tape is horrible and even best branded, made in USA [ThermoTec] tape is not flawless. We eventually gave up on ceramic fibre and went with PFTA [Teflon] plates. Since PFTA can be outright poisonous at high temperatures, we decided to use high quality - made in Europe material - this way we are sure that maximum temperature of 235c is well within safety limit.
Availability
Filament splicer can be pre-ordered via our campaign on Indiegogo, it is available as a DIY kit or fully assembled unit.

За основу брали ромашку (как она задрала), я кстати предлагаю магазину, продавать основу, или в качестве бонуса предлагать (так на сколько я знаю никто не делает). <a href=https://mrtk-sakha.online>мефедрон купить</a> Сделал 4 затяжки с батла, почувствовал секунд через 30 первое прикосновение.))) Затем не много стал теряться в пространстве и во времени, а когда поднялся домой, и открыл дверь (5 мин спустя) меня перекрыло нах, я не мог закрыть дверь и мне всё казалось что кто то держит, у меня начинается паника) я начинаю кричать за дверь: - ты кто такой отпусти, иди отсюда.............. Зову родаков, которых дома нет слава Богу!!!!! вообщем стоял минут 20 у двери) а когда пошёл в комнату мне казалось что кто то за мной ходит!!!

Перед техосмотром пройдитесь по чек-листу: лампы, лобовое без трещин в зоне обзора, давление в шинах, уровень жидкостей. Это повышает шанс пройти с первого раза. В 2026 году правила для легковых смягчены, но не исчезли. Адреса пунктов и актуальные требования:

Был сделан заказ, оперативно связались с продавцом (что радует, он регулярно на связи), оплатили, причем сами намудрили с оплатой - больше по ошибке перевели. Оттого не сразу разобрались с суммой, но потом продавец предложил на сдачу нам выслать пробников) Через неделю позвонил курьер, договорились о доставке в удобном мне месте, что оказалось очень кстати. <a href=https://389999.online>мефедрон купить</a> но только если мусора захотят найдут. просто мусора еслиб хотели найти , то давно бы уже посыль пришла с сопровождением.
