If a piece broke off of a printed object what would&nbsp; the best glue or other method be for repairing? Would certain glues damage the material?

Gel super glue (make sure you get the gel kind) or epoxy work well on most SLA parts.

I’ve found that CA Model glue is perfect for the clear as it dries with the same color clear and sanding abilities, I would highly suggest using the CA Accelerator as well to speed up your repair times.
