Dropped one of my wife’s favorite mugs. Anyone up for a paid commission/challenge to print a new handle? Have you ever seen this work? Thanks!

Not sure how well super glue will work, but if it specifically says ceramics on it you’re probably fine. A superglue gel will be easier to work with than the normal stuff.
Shortly after it sets, use a wet paper towel to clear away some of the excess adhesive. It’ll make the joint look nice and clean when it cures, and it will be very difficult to clean up after curing.
Superglue works extremely well on coffee mugs. I have one that’s got the handle held back on with superglue and it’s been that way for probably close to a decade at this point. The stupid 1970s ceramic tile toothbrush holder in my downstairs bathroom is also held together with superglue…
I’m not entirely certain I’d be keen to try putting back together any of the liquid holding parts of a mug with it, but if you did it carefully and very thoroughly it wouldn’t surprise me if that worked as well.
Good to know! I usually jump to epoxy for anything that needs to be ‘structural’ (like a coffee cup handle).
As a bonus, if you apply it well, it also has some sealing ability. I fixed a bowl that broke pretty cleanly in half and it still holds soup without a problem.
