Glue two ABS pieces

[mikel1369]

Hi all!

Sometime ago, I printed two ABS pieces with a 3d printer. Now I would like to glue them but I don't want the intersection to be visible.

Is there any glue or method in order to do it?

Thank you!!
Mikel.

Acetone or MEK. Acetone is slightly less nasty

I think that will be MEK as a gel.

Acetone works great to cold-weld two pieces of ABS but there will be a witness. Sanding will be required.

But using Acetone or MEK would the intersection be deleted? Woudl it be like a single piece?

If you did it right then it would. If you are not skilful at it then it will get narrower than it was.

You can dissolve abs into acetone to thicken it to whatever consistency you want.
