in thread I came, I saw, I ...

Great idea. I'll have to suggest it as an alternative for one-off test fixtures.

(We have a prototype shop with an "industrial" 3D printer, ShopBot, drill press, jigsaw, arbor saw and radial-arm saw. The 3D printer is mostly used for "showy" prototype housings. The ShopBot mostly for milling delryn blocks for bed-of-nails fixtures. The saws and drill press are used for most other test fixtures (because is usually a lot faster than preparing the design files required by the ShopBot or 3D printer, and the 3D printer is painfully slow).

    You guys and your fancy "3D printers" and highfalutin "Lego Blocks", in my day all we had was cardboard and duct tape, and we liked it! :-)
