Can these, seemingly 3d printed, neat aquatics pentair mounts be welded back together somehow? What would I use to do that?
I'm not sure how it happened they have just been in storage for about a year now.

Thanks!

They are 70 dollars so I'd rather not lol. Im sure I can just use heat to melt them together but I was hoping there was something like what people use to weld acrylic together.

I'm gonna use super glue because I have it here and if that bond breaks someday I'll sand it and try weld-on16. It seems superglue might work really well on plastic like this.

Get a cheap 3D printing pen and some black PLA/PETG that matches and use that to repair. Super Glue will work too, but if you have more 3D printed parts, having a pen + filament is always a good thing to keep on hand.

I'm slowly using more and more 3d printed things so I'll try to pick one up on sale sometime. Thanks !

For now it is glued back together. :)
