Follow these steps to effectively join 1.75mm 3D printer filaments:

  1. Prepare Filaments: Ensure both ends of the filaments to be joined are cut cleanly and are free of debris.
  2. So agbara: Plug in the device. The display will activate.
  3. Select Material and Temperature:

    Use the control buttons to select the appropriate filament material (e.g., PLA, PETG, ABS). The device has preset temperatures for common materials. Refer to the temperature chart below for guidance.
