Just wondering has any one used a 3d printer pen as a plastic welder and is it any good vs epoxy or actual plastic welder. They say you can us actual 3d printer filament vs the filament that the pen comes, just though id ask some one.
Hey guys, best way to plastic weld is friction welding, you get a piece of the same kind of material, put it in the tip of a high speed drill or dremel tool and use friction welding to bond parts, always do the inside first as you can make a much cleaner repair.

Pla filament is excellent for repairs and you can even get pla sticks that are already straight too. always plastic weld with a plastic that has a lower melting temp if possible.
