stick (glue) together (PLA to PLA)

[ammar 0]

Hi everyone,

I built an underwater robot. I used UM2 to create the shape. The shape of my robot like as the shape of a fish body with dimensions (65cmx25cmx15cm) and also has similar surface properties. The thickness of the outer skin of the robot approx. 3mm.

The robot consists of several components (parts) that I was created using a 3D printer (Due to UM2 has small Dimensions).

I used PLA filament to produce the parts of robot.

After finishing of the printing, I got more of eight parts. (Each part has approximately the following dimensions 13cm, 18cm, 3mm).

Of course, now comes the important aspect "stick together" (PLA to PLA)!

I need your advice to chose the best stick of my state.

I prefer some of the points to be the stick like:

 

1- To be no super glue, so that the parts of the robot to remain in their position to each other over a longer period still be moved.

 

2-The viscosity of the stick should be similar to honey and not the water.

 

What stick would you recommend in this case for my robot?

 

 

best regards

Ammar

I haven't tried it myself but you can perhaps try silicone? No idea how well it adheres to PLA though...

Some other thoughts:

Sugru or Plastidip perhaps?

pvc glue works well and is water resistant. You can also make vases and cups watertight with it.
