Hello,
Do you have any experience with gluing printed parts?
Currently I assemble UV owen to cure my prints but from time to time I will need to print creations in parts and then glue them together. Superglue will be ok ? Do you have any experience?
Also how about paint? Humbrol (humbrol.com) paint for plastic models will be ok ? :ugeek:

depends on your resin, but usually cyanoacrylate (superglue) will work, though if it melts your resin, try the "foam safe" variant.

I use my printer to make model parts for my model car building hobby, so I have to be able to paint and glue them. Ca(super glue) works great and lacquer, enamel and any a acrylic works fine. I'm using Fun To Do DB.
