I’m making a 3D printed figurine/trophy for my friend as a gift, and I need to glue together base and the figurine itself (it’s a giant amongus). My question is: is something like an instant glue, or just regular glue good enough for PLA, or do I need to by some special one?
I’m fond of E6000, but it produces a slightly flexible bond, which might not be appropriate for your use case. Ordinary superglue should work, keeping all its normal limitations in mind (that is, the cheap liquid formulations are a pain to work with and can’t fill gaps).
I second superglue is good for general use. I’ve seen some people fill gaps by mixing backing soda with superglue.
