connecting PLA model parts -tip

[sonra]

Hi guys
I use only PLA and the difficult problem I found is hoe to connect parts after print . I try 2 second Loctite super glue and gel . The gel work but it took long time to get dry , Someone in Israel told me about the idea described in article ( link is attached ) ,I tried the friction W welding and this is great , it take sometime to prepare the parts but it make me life in this point much easier .

You could try CA glue kicker. You glue up your parts and then spritz it over the joint and it should set the glue immediately.

Epoxy also works and comes in different working times such as 5 minutes or 30 minutes.

I use Weld On #4

It's just Methyl Chloride, which isnt a glue, but it chemically welds the parts together. Much like acetone welding with ABS.
