In the previous video we destroyed the 3D printed ABS rim and instead of printing a new part I managed to repair it. Instead of acetone which is the common solvent I used methyl ethyl ketone or MEK for short to buy me more time with such large parts. I started with a 50/50 weight ratio of MEK and ABS which turned out to be perfect. It is however recommended to add a little MEK a day before you're going to use it because it will get thicker over time.
