    Um, I think a few people here are posting not realizing this is the Peachy Printer sub-forum... The Peachy Printer doesn't use PLA or ABS... it uses resin hardened by UV light.

    We tested a print to see if acetone dissolves it, and no it doesn't (at least in the time that a similar abs piece did)

    I don't know if newly cured resin will completely "glue" to an old print though

    haha yes i didnt notice the forum it was in. in any case methylene chloride still may work as thats super strong solvent but with a crosslinked resin like the peachy would use then a methyl methacrylate type adhesive would bond any of the parts and not fail. here is one example...

    and another...

    the adhesive used to bond corian countertops is the same type and comes in colors so if you have a cabinet shop nearby that does that kind of work then they would have it or could get it.
