So I had a problem that when i print multiple prints sometimes they dont fit together perfectly, theres a bit of bleed. I found a neat trick where you can just wave the joint over a candle for a second or 2 and fit it together. The filament becomes slightly soft and when connected it hardens to fit a bit better. That bottle cap just wouldnt screw in but now it does.

100 °C is still above the glass transition temp of most plastics, so be careful.
