*sigh* So it seems PETG can only be glued by the hand of God. This sucks, since PETG parts are so much stronger than ABS or PLA. Sooo... Back to square one. I'm gonna have to reprint the torso in one piece using ABS. Unfortunately, that means I have to modify the model quite a lot. Damn! See what I mean about Murphy's Law? }[ did u try scuffing with sandpaper? Try a few different brands of super glue I find some work better on plastic so maybe in this case too? |

Yeah. Locktite Heavy Duty Super Glue keeps it together...until I apply some force. :-(

It will stick, until force is applied. True, most folks will not try to pull the parts apart like I do, but the fact still remains - they will come apart.  Anyway, I decided to do it in ABS. Not as strong as PETG but stronger than PLA.  }D |

Had severe problems with the 2-in-1-out nozzle. It just started leaking from the top and clogged up. I contacted the seller and he told me to keep it and refunded me 50% of the cost. New nozzle should be here Saturday... maybe. Hopefully I can re-start the project next week. }D |

Installed the new nozzle and calibrated the printer the best I could.  Here is the first version of Dai Apollon's upper arm. I had to make it from scratch because the original file was giving me problems to modify. Not too bad for the first print!  }D |
