Gluing ASA parts for outdoor use
N
Hi there, I’m prototyping an outdoor enclosure for a small LiDAR unit, printing it in ASA due to its UV resistance and decent mechanical strength. I’d like to bond a front cover to the main body without using mechanical fasteners. Has anyone had reliable results gluing ASA to itself? I’m looking for a strong, weather-resistant bond and need to avoid adhesives that degrade over time with UV exposure or temperature cycles.
