Basically just a grooved Al block, thermistor, and a heating resistor.

Should be pretty trivial to work up if you have an old stock SD hotend lying around.

The links are a little DIY, too...I really should post more. Meh.

If your filament path is fully constrained (ala e3dv6), you can simply feed one piece after the other.

I have to try this some time...

I made a post about the fuseclamp in the filament forum. I did kick in the $81.10 to get one (hopefully) because I have hopes that it will do more for me than just prevent me pelletizing filament leftovers to re-extrude.

If you've seen the video, I've never seen anything else that is quite that slick for joining filament... the price seemed reasonable considering the size of the teflon block used.
