I’m looking for some advice on how to bond a post-processed resin printed piece to a large PLA print. I assume my options are either superglue or maybe brushing resin onto the PLA, attaching the resin print, and hitting it with a UV light?
Is there a better way? Thanks!
You could use just a regular 5 min epoxy. I frequently use CA glue, but depending on your use case, it might be too brittle.
Brittleness might be a concern, it will be for a costume piece
Thank you!
Make sure to rough up the resin surface to be glued then use CA glue and send it. I’m sure it will be sufficient.
Rough up both surfaces.
Alternatively, if you want a removable bond, barges. It can be neater (barges is weird. You paint it on both parts after a few minutes, it’ll be not-tacky, but’ll bond to other barges. You can remove it with the application of gentle heat. It’s also flexible.)
Finally VHB tape from 3m is wonderful,
I usually use ca glue or a
soldering ironto fuse or repair parts.That said, if you have good ventilation and ppe I know acetone welding is not uncommon for abs and I’ve come across an older post where that works with PLA. Not sure if it’ll work with your resin, could always try with a test piece.
