I’ve been working on some small pieces of hardware to attach fasteners to composite parts. Given the strength of methyl methacrylate and epoxy adhesives for gluing dissimilar materials, there are plenty of applications where you can just surface bond fasteners. I am testing the size of the flange needed and how the bond-line holds up to various torture.
My plan is to document the process of gluing these parts and test various adhesives. Plexus MA830 works very well so far, and since it also glues Markforged Onyx (Nylon) parts very well, I’ll test them too!
The lathe skills are not pro-level yet, but I am loving the learning.
