White silicone caulk would probably work well. Silicone wont get flaky or degrade over time. |

Print using a scarf joint so the seams have an overlap. Also that would get them up off the build plate where your warping problem is. |

Buy a 3d printer pen. Believe it or not they are pretty great at filling the spaces as long as the spaces are not too complicated or wide. |

I used a mixture of baking soda+super glue which you can apply using a small spatula. This would require sanding afterwards of course and ideally painting, but it worked for me. |

Can you remove material from the left side of the joint? That would close the gap on the right. |

Sugru would be pretty good at filling the gap |

I came here to say this. Mine was, I think, name brand and it was only $35 and I've already used it to fix a few broken and flawed prints. Heat the filament up a little extra and you can squish it in place with the proper implememt without much if any trouble. |

If it's a straight edge and the measurements don't have to be too precise I would just sand the edge flat, personally |

Print a 1 or 2 layer thick rectangle the length of the seam. Maybe 1cm wide. and glue on top. Sort of like how you use tape. |

PLA
I was going to suggest solvent welding, unfortunately PLA's solvent is extremely toxic. Were this ABS or ASA you could mix acetone and some raw fillament to get this gloop-like mixture. Fill the gap, let it dry and you have a solid bond as strong as if it was printed in one piece. Can also be used as a glue and is just as strong. |
