Topic: UV Curable Glue

I print in PLA exclusively and hav trouble assembling parts. Superglue works but leaves a frosted area around where the glued area. Has anyone treid the materials like "Laserbond"?

If you build it they will come. Then they will make fun of it, tell you it's not worth doing and go home and try to copy you.

Re: UV Curable Glue

Use less glue. You should only put dots on the inside of the part make sure it is not enough to reach the outside edges and it wont frost.

The problem with UV cured glues is that unlesd you use transparent filament the light will never reach the glue that is on the inside.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!
