        <title>Repair cracked PLA part</title>
        <description> I apologize if this isn&#039;t the most relevant question for this forum but I was hoping someone might know how to repair fractures along layers in a PLA print.  I&#039;ve heard super glue is a good option but does anyone know a method that works well?  Thanks!</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Ethyl acetate (also marketed as MEK substitute in the US) also works. It dissolves the PLA like acetone does for ABS and works well for re-fusing cracked faces.]]></description>
