And of course, in what I have started to assume is just business as usual for the chinese, they falsely advertise a list price that nobody ever paid and list a discount before the product has already shipped.
I guess if you want to take the time to figure out how many meters for each layer change (or grams) it would be something. Nothing stopping you from getting your hands on the sleves and a lighter or other heat source.
Given you can use up your spools with an AMS I donāt think itās that useful. If you donāt have one I guess that pushes the needle a little, but again, the sleeve and a heat sourceā¦
Iāve been joining mine with a heat gun and some PTFE tube that is reasonably tight to the filament, saw someone do it on YouTube and gave it a go. Works pretty good and Iāve been using the same pice of tube for about a year. Just cut splice on each pice and push almost together in the PTFE then heat with the gun and press together, also works without the splice. Thinking of designing a little jig to make it easier but keep getting carried away with other projectsš.
If you have an AMS you donāt need a filament splicer, just load your end bits onto the 4 filament holders and have the AMS do fail over so that when one filament runs out the next is loaded.
