I’m looking for some advice on how to bond a post-processed resin printed piece to a large PLA print. I assume my options are either superglue or maybe brushing resin onto the PLA, attaching the resin print, and hitting it with a UV light?

Is there a better way? Thanks!

    Totally fair, had thought maybe keeping a thin amount on the edges would enable it to cure correctly.

    Definitely agree wrt to CA, you could use epoxy and other adhesives but CA is surprisingly strong, I have some cassette towers that are glued together with it and they’re not going anywhere.

    Not super relevant to this but for anyone using CA glue, don’t use it on fibrous material and please wear nitrile gloves, it reacts exothermically with some fibres and produces acrid vapours, it’s really unpleasant, it should be called out on the SDS (which you should always check, there’s enough stuff in most home shops that I’d wager has special precautions for handling and use that people aren’t aware of)
