If you designed your object (or have the capacity to) you should design some pegs/slots and then use superglue. The Gel type works the best. eg: http://shop3d.ca/product/loctite-quicktite-instant-adhesive/

Regular superglue is pretty runny, this can actually get sucked into the part due to the tiny layer gaps and not create a good bond with the surface. With the Gel type, it's viscous enough to stay on the surface to bind the other part.

Secondly, the gel type doesn't dry out on the first use and you loose the whole bottle.
