SUNLU Filament Connector FC01, which has been available domestically and internationally for some time now—what is everyone's experience with this product? We have gathered experiences from our Filament Connector officers as well as feedback from several users, and today we are coming together to hear all the voices!
Leftover filament is fully utilized so that no waste is created!
Let’s see what users around the world have to say about this device.
"...I think this is a neat device. I think it’s a cost-effective way to handle spools with varying amounts of leftover filament on them or the sample packs you get from different filament manufacturers..."
--- by @3D Printing Nerd
"A handy tool to reduce waste and maximize filament usage."
--- by @Captain Creativity
"If you’re like me and regularly use 3D printers for all sorts of crafts, you probably have a whole lot of unused filament left over from a dozen or more spools. This filament connector makes exactly that possible. It allows you to fuse these residual materials with one click through simple operation, which not only effectively reduces material waste but also saves on material costs."

"For those who, like me, have a lot of loose filament that I need to splice into full rolls, this connector from SUNLU is one of the better ones I've seen on the market, both in terms of appearance and usage."

Excellent connectivity, no impact on printing
Let’s see what SUNLU’s Product Experience Officers have to say!
Fixing effect status.
1. Strength: When operated correctly, the strength of the fusion weld can be guaranteed; it does not pull apart easily with ordinary pulling.
2. Wire diameter tolerance: For different brands of similar materials, we measured the fusion diameter at the weld line with a vernier caliper. After several measurements, we took the average value for comparison. The same brand of the same type of material showed a slight decrease in diameter compared to the original, which may be due to the shrinkage of the consumables after heating.
3. Print quality:
Test model: Bambu A1 mini
Print parameters:
Normal PLA: 210℃; Speed outer perimeter: 200mm/s, inner perimeter: 300mm/s
Print model: Test boat model
Dynamic flow calibration: On
Test result:
For ordinary PLA, regardless of whether the material is fused from the same manufacturer or mixed, all print normally. After fusion welding, all print normally; there is no significant difference."
---Product Experience Officer
"Regardless of whether it's a common material like PLA, ABS, or PETG, or even more specialized composite materials, this filament connector quickly detects the optimal temperature and adjusts automatically. This feature is very practical as it eliminates the need for manual adjustment and avoids the problem of material damage or poor fusion due to incorrect temperatures. In practice, I have tested several different materials. The welding process went very smoothly for every material. The fusion splicer heats up to the required temperature quickly and maintains the temperature constant during the welding process, which ensures the quality and consistency of the weld."

Creative DIY for multi-color printing
"Not only can you use up your filament leftovers from the end of the spool, but you can also create your own color transitions by mixing different colors in the order you want."
--- @BV3D: Bryan Vines
"A device to maximize filament utilization and create your own multi-colored or rainbow filaments."
