A drop or 2 of acetone would work as well (melts the cup).
Future would also work

I have done both of these before and it's amazing what you can get to stick together.

But in reality: If you have any type of silcone caulk or liquid nails (construction adhesive), either will work and bond instantly.

3d modelling is an option a true mental excercise in frusrtation

Also try scuffing the glass with sandpaper to give the glue more surface area to grab on to.

I was going to recommend polyurethane glue such as Gorilla Glue or Elmer's Pro Bond, but they take longer to set than you want.
The 5-minute epoxy should work fine and if you don't need much strength in the glue joint then the CA that was recommended should work well also.

Thanks guys. Don't have a hot-melt glue gun, though it does sound like a good idea, so I think I'll use the 5 minute epoxy.

HEY,
What they said would work great. Id go with the hot melt glue gun, as it dries quicker, but thats just me.
