My preferred method of joining pieces printed in ABS plastic is to weld them together with acetone. This is easily achieved by dipping the ends of the pieces you wish to join in acetone for 15-20 seconds, then holding them firmly together. The pieces Demakein generates include guide prongs that ensure the correct orientation. Use appropriate safety equipment when handling acetone (gloves, goggles, good ventilation, etc.).\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eI am not sure if a similar solvent is available for PLA plastic.
