Filament Splicer – Call3D Filament Welding Tool

Filament Splicer – Call3D Filament Welding Tool

Lets you join partial spools and broken filament runs with a rigid aluminium clamp.

Use Up Partial Spools and Offcuts

Join short ends, half-used spools, and snapped runs into one printable length, so leftover filament gets used on prototypes and test prints instead of being thrown out.

Aluminium Clamp Holds Alignment

The body is machined from aluminium, so repeated flame heating does not soften it or shift the channel. Each splice lines up the same way as the first one did.

This filament splicer joins two ends of 1.75 mm filament into one continuous strand, so partial spools, snapped runs, and short offcuts become printable again instead of going in the bin. It is a two-piece clamp machined from aluminium rather than printed, and the only thing it needs besides filament is a household lighter or a heat gun. No power supply, battery, app, or PTFE sleeves are involved, so there is nothing to recharge and nothing to keep buying.

Load one filament end into each side of the channel, melt the tip of one end briefly with the flame, and push the two ends together while the plastic is still soft. The machined channel holds both ends in line and contains the softened plastic, so the weld sets close to the nominal diameter instead of as a lump on the side of the strand. Trim any flash with flush cutters and check the joint with calipers before it goes onto a spool.

Because the clamp is machined aluminium, the flame heats the filament rather than the tool. A jig printed in PETG or ABS softens under the same heat and its channel drifts out of line, which matters most when you sit down and join a whole box of leftovers in one session. PLA, PETG, ABS, and ASA join well; TPU deforms at the seam and fiber-filled filament does not fuse across the joint. Joints must be trimmed and measured before AMS use, since an oversized or oval joint is what catches inside the feeder path.

Filament Splicer – Call3D Filament Welding Tool Overview

For makers who want to use up leftovers without adding another powered device.

If the goal is turning a box of half-used spools into printable lengths and you would rather not put another powered tool on the bench, an aluminium clamp covers that job for very little money and no consumables. A printed jig does the same work for free, but the plastic softens under a lighter and the channel drifts, so it holds up best for the occasional PLA splice. Powered splicers with a built-in heater and presets give more repeatable heat, and they rely on a PTFE sleeve that is cut off after every splice, which suits anyone splicing often enough to justify the upkeep.

Product Specification

  • Product Type: Filament splicer / filament welder
  • Body Material: CNC-machined aluminium
  • Clamp Format: Two-piece clamp, hand-tightened
  • Compatible Filament: 1.75 mm (0.069 in)
  • Heat Source: Household lighter or heat gun
  • Power Requirement: None
  • Consumables: None; no PTFE sleeves required
  • Supported Materials: PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA

Package Includes

1 × Aluminium Filament Splicer
Not Included: Lighter or heat gun (any household lighter works)
Not Required: PTFE sleeves — the machined channel holds the joint in shape

Requirements & Installation Notes

  • Heat source: a household lighter or a heat gun is enough; there is no cable, battery, or firmware to set up.
  • Preparation: cut both filament ends square with flush cutters. An angled cut traps air and leaves a weak spot.
  • Technique: heat one end just until it softens, push both ends together inside the channel, and hold until the joint sets.
  • Safety: work on a heat-resistant surface, keep the flame on the filament rather than the clamp, and let the tool cool before opening it.
  • Check: trim the flash and measure the joint before spooling it; an oversized or oval joint can jam in the AMS.

Frequently Asked Questions About Filament Splicer – Call3D Filament Welding Tool

How is the splicer heated?

With a household lighter or a heat gun. The tool has no heater, cable, or battery; the flame softens the filament tip while the aluminium clamp holds both ends in line. Brief heating is enough, and letting the joint cool before opening the clamp keeps it straight.

Which filament materials can I join?

PLA, PETG, ABS, and ASA join well. TPU tends to deform at the seam and fiber-filled filament does not fuse across the joint, so neither is a good fit for splicing. Join the same material on both sides; the colour can differ.

Why use an aluminium clamp instead of a free printed splicer?

Heat. A jig printed in PETG or ABS softens when a flame or heat gun is applied repeatedly, and a softened channel lets the two ends drift out of line. Machined aluminium does not soften at lighter temperatures, so the channel keeps the same alignment splice after splice. A printed jig is still a reasonable free option for the occasional PLA joint.

Will a spliced joint feed through the AMS?

Usually, if the joint is trimmed and measured first. Flash left around the seam adds diameter, and the AMS pushes filament through a longer path with more junctions than a direct drive feed, so an oversized or oval joint is the one that catches. Trim with flush cutters and check the joint with calipers before winding it onto a spool.

Support FAQ 

What Should I Buy from Call3D?

Call3D is particularly valuable when you are looking for:

  • Carefully selected third-party accessories, mods, and upgrades for Bambu Lab printers;
  • Compatibility-sensitive parts that require clearer model, version, or installation guidance;
  • Specialized solutions that may be difficult to identify on general marketplaces;
  • Newly released or locally unavailable Bambu Lab products;
  • Multiple accessories that can be combined into one order.

Every product we list is selected for a clear functional purpose, with compatibility, installation requirements, and known limitations reviewed before publication. Our goal is to help customers choose the right solution—not simply offer the largest possible catalog.

Why Call3D over a Marketplace?

General marketplaces may offer a large number of similar-looking products from different sellers, making it difficult to evaluate compatibility, product quality, and after-sales responsibility.

Call3D operates as a specialist curated store. We review a product’s purpose, compatibility, installation requirements, and available technical information before listing it. If customers need help before ordering or encounter a problem afterward, they can contact the same team that selected and documented the product.

We focus on long-term customer relationships, clear communication, and responsible after-sales support rather than a one-time transaction.

  •  Found this shop on Reddit, chatted with a real person about the P2S filter I needed. Asked if they could ship to SG, they checked and made it happen! Super happy because this filter is basically impossible to find locally and always out of stock everywhere else. Fast, friendly, and solved my problem perfectly. Will buy again!

  •  Bought a ventilation system but changed my mind last minute. I thought returns would be a huge hassle, but they told me there’s a return warehouse in Houston only about a 10-minute drive from where I live in Missouri City. Drove over and returned it super easily. Super convenient return process, great experience overall!
