This is a highly controllable superglue applicator inspired by the Loctite "Control" super glue applicator. This design can be used with any regular super glue tube. V2 is now optimized for 3D printing by filleting all the sharp corners. Also reduced the foot width for more comfortable handling.

Printed on an Ender3 V2

Print Settings - NB! Turn off Arachne

For PrusaSlicer this means using “Perimeter Generator: Classic”. Arachne will try to print the gripper lips as separate extrusions and that will probably end up with the gripper gap printed shut. With Classic perimeters the gripper gets printed as one continuous line. 

For print settings I recommend printing without a brim as that will close up the gripper gap and cleaning it up is quite tedious. It can be printed from PLA and PETG.  PETG will make it more flexible therefore more durable to accidental spreading. PLA will make it slightly stiffer resulting in more precise control. For PETG I set the bed to 80C as the surface area is quite small and bed adhesion is otherwise a problem.
