Comment on What is the best (liquid) glue for gluing PLA prints together?

  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?

      I set this up a good 25min ago, let’s see what happens. It’s polymaker polyterra PLA, 3 walls, 15% gyroid infill and some fuzzy skin with default parameters from orca slicer.

      So far all I have is very slight color leeching out, but nothing has dissolved so far. I’ll let it run for a few days and keep you updated.

        This is Prusament PLA dissolving in acetone in seconds:

        I’ll come back to it in 30 minutes and it’ll be a messy soggy half-dissolved thing. And it’ll be fully gone within the hour.
