ABS Cements

Hi All:

I am designing some parts of ABS that need to be cemented together. Thus I was searching for a commonly available cements to use for the purpose. Since I am printing in natural ABS, the typical black goo at the hardware was not too appealing. Instead I found the following common clear ABS cements:

Oatey 30818, All Purpose Cement for ABS, CPVC and PVC, 4 ounce container, milky clear
Oatey 30922, ABS Cement, 16 ounce container, milky clear.

I think I will try the first, since is a locally stocked item, about $4. I am designing a Wades extruder that is in 3 pieces for easier printing (no overhangs).

If anyone has other good ideas for cements, or comments on these please share....

thanks

john

Acetone will allow you to melt the surface and form a weld. So will MEK pipe cement, which is thicker and more aggressive.
