3D printing pen, Soldering iron, and CA glue

[ArrowsInClover]

As I just got started with 3d printing, there's a lot that I don't know. My first larger project is currently printing, and eventually I'm going to have to put it together. This means I'll need a soldering iron, some CA glue, and most likely a 3d printing pen. I have enough money to buy all these things, just wondering which ones you guys use and which ones you'd recommend (For all three) Thanks in advance

I haven't used a 3d pen or soldering to attach prints. I mainly use CA glue, velcro, and hardware screws that I model holes for into the prints. I've heard good things about soldering prints, but the 3D pen I've only ever heard of being used for touching up seams and errors.

Interesting I thought all three were required, but upon more research in the forums what is recommended is CA glue with a soldering iron for larger pieces. What CA glue do you use?

I use Loctite Super glue, the liquid not the gel

when putting stuff together I recommend using both CA glue and a soldering iron. MAKE SURE YOU WEAR A MASK! I find a blend of chemical and physical attachment works best for sure. as for brand of CA glue i cant recommend one since my first bottle of the stuff came was not super good... definitely don't go super cheap on the CA glue like I did...

Ok thank you. Do you have a specific soldering iron you recommend?

Honestly my armor is held together with The Original Super glue brand Super Glue. I started with it and everything has held up great. There's probably better glues out there, but my stuff has turned out great.
