Can i use a 3D Pen with ABS to glue small (20x20mm) glass tiles onto stone surface?

Basically like a Hotgluegun just in small and with ABS instead of hotglue.

No, filament dries much faster than hot glue, it's solid within a second after coming out of the nozzle.

Use tile adhesive, it's the proper tool for the task.

Yea just to further add:

Plastic is not an adhesive.

Like PeachMan said, if you try to lay down the filament and then place the tile, it'll harden too fast for that to work. You can use a 3d pen to attach two things along the seam where the two things are touching though, I've done that.

Yeah essentially welding with a 3d pen

Use construction adhesive. It's inexpensive and actually works with your use-case
