PLA and PETG gluing/smoothing ?

Post by ksor »

When you print with PLA you can smooth your printed object with ACETONE and TOO you can use ACETONE for gluing PLA parts together.

Anyone know of some 'stuff' to use for same purposes when printing with PETG ?

I have never heard of PLA smoothing using Acetone though Acetone can be used for smoothing ABS.

Acetone works nicely with PLA, but I was asking for something like wise for PETG.

A test done by Thomas Sanladerer here shows a different story.

Could you post your results, However he did show that acetone welding does work well.

A test done by MetalGearSortof here shows similar results.

free spirit 1 has done a Remelting 3D printed thermoplastics (the salt method)

No other information I know of to post.
