This is one of those videos that blows up once a popular project requires its info.
I used to plastic weld professionally. You need a filler rod of the same material to force into the plastic to properly weld and get good penetration. I would recommend a hot air welder with a speed welding tip.
I see you used 3D printed parts, what material did you use? (Oh, seems like PETG 8:55)
If it works for metal it should work for plastics - nope... You dont weld plastic this way, the fact that this is how you weld metal doesnt mean it works for plastic. Plastic doesnt flow like metal and those circular motions like you should do in metal welding are not applicable here. Many more mistakes in this video.
