A good PLA glue that can be bought in Europe? (3DGloop doesn't seem to have European distributor)
I mostly use cyanoacrylate glue (Loctite for example) to glue parts together, but it always left that haze that is very annoying and I would like to try something new.
3DGloop sees to be quite famous among the community but sadly it's not that easy/cheap to buy from Europe, so I would like to know if anyone knows a good glue for PLA (and hopefully PETG) that can be bought in Europe for a good price?
Thanks!

Not used it myself but there are a few suppliers of "PLA Gloop", which looks similar, in the UK which might be an easier buy for you, for instance

Thanks for the links! I should have said European Union 🤦🏽♂️ things coming from the UK to the European Union are subject to customs too... it is very annoying, that 29 pounds glue may end up costing me 50 or more with the shipping and customs.

I use UHU for hard plastics: https://www.uhu.de/de/produkt.63106 . I think it will not work with PETG, though.

Thanks! I'll take a look to that, I think I haven't tried any UHU glue. If it works with PLA is good enough for me as I mostly print with PLA.
I have used a couple of Pattex glues, like the extreme repair one or the special for plastic ones, but they don't work very well.

My go-to PLA glues are modeling glues (cements) like Revell Contacta. Those usually have a pointy tip for easier application. A small one is around 2-3 euros and it last for months.

The second link I posted also has a dutch site
Might be worth contacting them.
Strangely enough reprapworld.be and reprapworld.eu both redirect to their site

Great! It seems very affordable yeah, if it works nicely with PLA I'll give it a try. Thanks 🙂

Thanks. I'll check, 3DGloop may not be exporting to EU distributors anymore or something like that, because even in the UK websites you shared before they both sold out.

Unfortunately, 3D Gloop seems to be sold out in all the above references (incluing UK).

I heard good things about that as well so I bought one. But I'm not sure why people like it. It stays very liquid for very long, the same as happens with super glues. Only if you press parts strongly together for a longish time does it work (for me). So I'm still looking for something that can give me a superglue-like experience. Or a glue that sticks well enough from the start to keep parts together, I don't mind if I have to wait a bit for it to harden properly.

I actually searched for "PLA" on the Amazon reviews of the Revell Contacta one and the couple ones I could find didn't seem very happy with the result :/

That's strange. Maybe it depends on what kind of additions in the filament.
I usually use it with Creality and Polymaker PLAs, and it works fine. It's not super fast, it needs 10 minutes to dry, but after that it holds well.
