Small tip: sprinkle some baking soda on the seams after appying superglue to the backside of your parts as shown @7:30. The chemical reaction between the superglue and baking soda makes it very sturdy. Just make sure you're applying it to the side you don't see because this mix gets really hard.
I made the same error with Gorilla Glue's expansion issue. Waking up to a 'wonky' part which was now rock solid. Start again ... Oh, and thank your son from us for saving the universe. We needed that.
Thanks, I’ll try out your tips and come back to show how my Tron disc is going. I also am going to be trying to melt some washers into my disc to work as a metal surface for magnets to attach to so I can have a way to attach and detach my disc freely.
I use the friction welding option when I combine pieces. Basically stick a piece of the same filiment you print with in a dremel or rotary tool an turn it on and run it over the seam
Hello, I have a question. A lot of people said to use woodfiller to get the parts that are missing or need to fill in areas that are gaps. Is that better to do?
Been assembling a mando helm. Never tried anything of the sort before. Had to print it in 8 separate pieces, not including ears and vent (big head, small printer)… putting it together was a massive pain and some bits still don’t line up perfectly. Will continue through sanding and painting but it’ll be obvious a newbie made it. 😅

Pinning this comment. Thanks for the tip!

There's nothing like a father's love for his kid! Beautiful work!
Thank you my friend!
If you're going to print in PLA or PLA Plus, you should use 3D Gloop. It actually chemically bonds the prices together better than super glue.
That’s a great tip! Thank you

How thin would you say is the thinnest you can attach, edge-to-edge?
the cut function in prusaslicer now has pin connectors now so you can make alignment easier
Bambu studio has connectors in the cut function too and it's soooo helpful.

I am printing with PLA, plus what is the best clue as I am making a rc body

I saw that a glue gun works just not sure if you need certain glue stcks

Did it turn out well? I was having the same experience with my Mando helmet😅
Did this hold up without breaking? I’m gonna need to repair a 3d printed battery housing and need something that won’t snap.
It did, even with my son wearing it multiple times. This seems to be a solid way to bond 3d printed parts from my tests.
Neither. Gloop.
Halves.

Anyway if you print 3D you use "Gorilla"'s glues :)
