Re: Help with adhesion

I only print ABS, so acrylic cement is what I use.  For other things like wood to plastic I would recommend epoxy.

To print or, 3D print, that is the question...
SD3 printer w/too many mods,  Printrbot Simple Maker Ed.,  FormLabs Form 1+
AnyCubic Photon, Shining 3D EinScan-S & Atlas 3D scanners...
...and too much time on my hands.

Gorilla Glue also works well with different material types, but will expand a lot if not restrained.

XYZ DaVinci 1.0 stock ABS, Simplify3D

There's no substitute for a epoxy.
