Have you experimented with different epoxies for bonding 3D printed parts? If so, which epoxy did you find best for which filament/resin?
I've been using my go-to AeroPoxy, but when asked "what is best" by a friend, I reached out to MarkForged to find out what they recommend. For their Onyx (Nylon/CF) filament:
Question:
What adhesives do we recommend for joining Markforged parts?
Answer:
Loctite 401 produces a rigid bond that was found in testing to be stronger than the interlayer adhesion of the material. Loctite 4861 is best when a more flexible bond is desired, or if the application requires the glued joint to bend and flex.
Scotchweld DP-series epoxy bonds well to Markforged Onyx; choose DP-100, -200, -300, or -400 based on required bond strength and operating conditions.
