nice that you automated it but theres a huge flaw, you cant get the joined filament out of the machine without running the whole spool through. so basicly this would need to sit in line with your 3d printer and run together with the extruder motor
You can design the gears such that they can be disengaged, or use a tension sensing system for feeding. Far from a deal breaker if you want to use this with large spools and the like
Hello and thank you very much for the comment. We have also included in the software of our Slunaz FF1r the possibility of not passing the entire reel and therefore joining two entire reels without passing the filament completely. Look at our RUclips channel and there are several videos about it. www.slunaz.com
Personally, If I had a unit like this I wouldn't really be using it for just joining reels rather than creating custom ones, I would label it an "experience product" where the more you use it the more you appreciate it, as your designs become more ambitious so does your desire for different filament properties within a design.
Hi Jacob and thanks for the comment. We will certainly do it as soon as we reach the necessary funds we will certainly invest them in the development of software to create the colored filament and therefore print a multicolored object. As soon as we have the economic possibility we will certainly do it.
That's cool The next step is to have it in line with your 3d printer. An AMS replacement of sort. It would be cool for different colors but realistically it would be better to have the same material and color spliced in to start a new spool. No more halting big prints for spool changes 😂
Well done, it's not a bad idea, but this machine was created to splice all types of filament and the next updates are a slicer for multicolored fabrics which we will do as soon as we will have reached the necessary funds being very expensive.
Hi, our machine is patented and certified and therefore we have put it on the market on our website as a kit or assembled. If you are interested, visit the site: www.slunaz.com
Hi guys, if you want I already have a 100% working prototype of the Slunaz FF1r 3mm only that there is little demand. If you are interested, write to me at the email address: slunazffr@gmail.com And thank you all for the comments😁

Pretty cool, now you just need to make a slicer plugin to do multi colored prints by joining a custom filament spool

this is how optical fibre is joined in labs
That's cool

Can you explain what exactly is new here? I only see _that_ it works, but not _how_.
Go buy it, it has a very fair price, mounted and setup ready to use.
Thank you so much for the comment😁
@@slunaz You are welcomed, always.
Might want to post the stl's as it might help with traffic.
neat design!
Is there a way so I can make one myself?

@@slunaz more than 200€ ... No thanks
How much will it cost?

now make it work for 2.85 and 3 mm
It's 2024 who is still using 2.85mm?
@@atheist45 everyone using Ultimaker or any other "pro" printer
the design is inspired by a optic fibre welder so if it works on 125 microns it definitely can work on 2.85 mm xd

@@atheist45 the 11 machines we have are still using it. I'll go ahead an let them know it's 2024.
