Joining 3D-Printed Parts Large prints that exceed a printer’s build volume often require joining multiple pieces together. Common methods include gluing (super glue, epoxy, or ABS slurry), welding (plastic friction welding), mechanical fasteners (screws and inserts), and solvent bonding (acetone for ABS or limonene for HIPS). Proper joining techniques improve structural integrity, aesthetics, and functionality, making it easier to create oversized models, cosplay props, or industrial parts. |
