This review is pretty good because of the contrast with the VIT. The consumable PTFE tubes of the Sunlu made sense for shaping, but actually comparing what that means in real use as opposed to theory was way more convincing
Great video! If you dont mind some constructive comments, consider eliminating the woosh sound effect when switching between cuts. A lot of videos overuse it and it does get a bit much when used too often. Otherwise keep up the great work!
I think you will like the Sunlu Filament connector. I found it easy to use after using it for a little while and I think the Teflon tubing is a great design feature that allows you to make consistent filament splices. Thanks for your comment and I hope you like your Sunlu Filament connector.
Good video, I've never felt the need for a filament splicer but you've clearly made the case for the Sunlu. However using the phrase "disposable teflon" is going to go over for a lot of people as well as "clubbing baby seals", the idea of bits of "forever chemicals" being used like that i cringeworthy these days. I do understand why it's the best stuff for this particular job but that's just an argument for this job not being something you want to do. My other concern is with consumables with this type of product, it comes with 200 and that's a lot, but eventually when you run out are spares still going to be available? Are the specs for the tubing known and generic tubing in that size available? It's not going to be regular "bowden" tubing because that has a larger inside diameter and this stuff has to be just a little bigger than 1.75mm to constrain the melting filament for the joint.
Hi Steve, you do make some very good points. I spoke with Sunlu and they will be selling (2) 200 piece packs at I think $14.99 as replacements. The tubing appears to be a special size. I don’t know the specs.

Thank you for your feedback and for watching my video. I really appreciate it.
Someone has worked in procurement. Great comparison. Thanks for this video.
LOL, you got me. Thanks for your positive feedback.😀

I appreciate the feedback. I was trying lots of sound effects in this video (more than I normally do) to see if people liked this more.
Thank you for this!!
You are very welcome! Thanks for your comment 😀
Great review! Thanks
