Topic: Welding filament tool

Hi

I developed a heating plier to weld plastics filament like : PLA, ABS, PVA, HIPS, Ninjaflex and other.
I can make O-ring with ninjaflex
What do you think about it ?

The link to my website : http://www.i3dinno.com/easywelder-en-p186486.html
I will lunch as soon as possible a kickstarter campagne.

Regards
Ludo

Re: Welding filament tool

How smooth is the joint? I would expect it to be a little thin as well.

Re: Welding filament tool

I tried this weekend to weld a compound of polyethylene strands of wire with EasyWelder.
This also works very well.
