Holy cow! This stuff is incredible. I've been CA glue (super glue) on 3d printed stuff with moderate success, but since trying this, I'll never go back. I've used it on PLA, PETG and ABS with great success. Like others have mentioned, it can be a bit of a learning process to manage its consistency. Try it on something you don't care about first. But once you are familiar with its properties, it's phenomenal. I've glued together parts, cracked prints, plus non-3d printed things, like a friend's broken pot lid handle. Clamping for 24 hours is my go-to, though I'm not sure that length of time is necessary. However, it seems to be working out great, so I'll stick with it. I made a reusable straw holder for my dishwasher that cracked along print lines when I pulled it off the printer bed. I glued along the crack, clamped it, and it's been working like a champ in the dishwasher, even with extra-hot washes and heated drying cycles. 10/10 will be buying this again when I run out...though it seems like one tube is going to last for years.

Works great, just wish it was sold in smaller quantities so I could save some money

Used this to glue my Lucite walking cane back together - looks great & seems to be a good hold. Will update if the thing falls apart after some use.

This is hands down the best for 3D printing because it chemically bonds your projects together. The plastic breaks before the joint does. The only issue is that it is an absolute mess to work with. The tube is metallic so when squeeze it retains that pressure on the glue and squirts everywhere when you open it.

Works great on PLA plastic for 3d printing. Bonds in seconds and is very strong when it drys.

We purchased this to try it on PLA filament and it did not disappoint ... Works Great ...

The media could not be loaded. The tube came crinkled up, like it had already been used. As soon as I twist off the top the glue came pouring out. The glue is very thin, especially for something labeled "medium bodied". Being this thin, it can't be controlled in this style container. The tiny bit I tried also wasn't very fast to set up. I tried to glue together 2 small pieces of plastic and gave up after holding them together for 15 minutes.Trying to return this item and it says it isn't eligible for return.BUYER BEWARE
