I've had a hard time getting super glue to bond PLA+ and I think I had a hard time with white PET-G too.
Edit: super glue is CA glue. Right?
Yeah, CA and superglue is the same. Well I made 350 mm diameter hedgehog wheel by gluing 6 peaces together. It survived few years of use and cleaning. I also made a PC case, was going to weld it, but looks like CA is enough. Maybe change glue brand? I used locktite for both (abs and pla)
Thanks! I'll give loctight a try.
Also, get some hand clamps. Helps immensely holding things together to let the glue cure. I use these. Not too pricey and can be used on many other things as well.
