I'm making a 3D printed figurine/trophy for my friend as a gift, and I need to glue together base and the figurine itself (it's a giant amongus). My question is: is something like an instant glue, or just regular glue good enough for PLA, or do I need to by some special one?

I have used Lepage / Loctite Super Gel Control with great success on PLA.

Hmm, never heard of it. Is this a brand of glue or like type?

Yes, this is just a gel consistency type of super/instant glue.

Ooh, okay. Thanks, going to try it.
