Since when does acetone dissolve PLA? For PLA one should use ethyl acetate or chloroform
Comment on What is the best (liquid) glue for gluing PLA prints together?

Acetone dissolves PLA. You can use it for chemical polishing but also for assembling parts.

Have you even tried it instead of talking out of your ass?
I use acetone to assemble PLA parts and polish them all the fucken time.

You’re thinking of ABS/ASA, acetone does not dissolve PLA.

Thanks to this discussion I was tempted to try: I can’t say if you can fully dissolve PLA in acetone, but you can definitely use acetone to glue PLA pieces together. Actually sticks very well. I’m amazed. Not sure if works for all PLA filaments though ?
I used acetone to chemically-polish a PLA part this very afternoon. But if you say so 🙂

You might get some minor surface reaction, but you’re sure as hell not able to dissolve PLA in acetone. Leaving a part printed of PLA in acetone will not turn it in to goo like it does with ABS/ASA.
Why don’t you try it before saying that?
