Adhesives for 3D Printed Parts


  • This is a PDF document created by the Loctite Company describing their various adhesives and which ones provide the best results under various conditions:
    • https://dm.henkel-dam.com/is/content/henkel/loctite-3d-printing-bonding-guide-english
    • I learned a bunch about adhesive use: gap requirements for certain glues/epoxies to get desired results, usable temperature ranges, and which types of glues or epoxies are most likely to work with various 3D printed plastics.
    • Even though this is a Loctite branded document, all adhesive manufacturers have equivalents with likely similar properties and requirements.  A great resource in my opinion.
