No Review Of Filament Welder For A While

 

NEW UPDATE: I have requested that SUNLU refund my money. I attempted to get a reason as to the delay in shipping and was given nonsense as a response, "We're sorry, the delay is because of a shipping delay. Sorry for the delay." AGAIN: DO NOT BUY THIS ITEM. Wait until you see it available on Amazon. While that may take a while, it is better than funding a company that ignores its early adopters and backers.

UPDATE - SUNLU has just informed us by email that the shipments to the US are now delayed until October. Again, I highly recommend that you DO NOT BUY this item until I have had a chance to review it for you. Delays like this are an indication that they have some sort of production issues.

Some people have all been asking me about the SUNLU Filament Connector and I wanted to give you an update. As you know, I do not accept free items to review. I purchase everything that I review in order to give a 100% unbiased review of the product. I have purchased the SUNLU Filament Connector at the pre-sale price. Unfortunately, this means that I will not see the product itself until sometime after they begin shipping to the United States in late September 2024.
As most of you know, I was in the electronics industry for several years focused on quality, I therefore believe, although I cannot confirm, that the units that you see being reviewed in the various YouTube videos are engineering builds. This means that they are far more carefully constructed than what you would normally see on a production line. In my back-and-forth with SUNLU, they have NOT denied this. For this reason, and since I cannot confirm the quality of the units themselves, I cannot recommend that you pre-purchase the units. I understand that this will mean an increased cost to you, but that is better than having something that will simply sit on your shelf somewhere.
When I receive my unit, I will give it a thorough test with the various materials it claims it can weld together and render my verdict and the number of stars I give the unit.
Thank you for your patience.
