Comment on Quick fix for cracked plastic clip: thread wrap and superglue
egrets@lemmy.world 1 week agoI’ve not used a Dremel - are you clamping the filament end-on, kind of like a pencil lead? Would a drill potentially work in the same way, if so, if you can align it in the chuck properly?

Clamping? It’s got a tip that you screw down around like the chuck of a standard drill. Dremmels spin at high speeds, 7000-15,000 (or more) RPM. The tip uses a small wrench to tighten down.
You stick filament into the tip. It spins at high speed. The filament heats up from the friction when you touch it to an object. It then starts to melt and bond with the object.
