I’m looking for some advice on how to bond a post-processed resin printed piece to a large PLA print. I assume my options are either superglue or maybe brushing resin onto the PLA, attaching the resin print, and hitting it with a UV light?

Is there a better way? Thanks!

You could use just a regular 5 min epoxy. I frequently use CA glue, but depending on your use case, it might be too brittle.

Brittleness might be a concern, it will be for a costume piece

Thank you!

And if you don't have easy access to 5 min epoxy, you could go with the super glue + baking soda trick for a similarly strong and hard bond: https://gluetips.com/super-glue-and-baking-soda/
