I'm looking into easy fixture solutions and was thinking about 3D printed fixtures. Would that be possible. I'm wondering if I could make some fixture arms, or even some standoffs, or if needed some complex fixtures. That being said, what filament would work well for both precision and accuracy as well as durability. PLA and ABS look like good candidates. Or am I wasting my time?
How do you stop the parts from moving while measuring? We have started to 3D print fixtures just recently, below is an example. We have used magnets in fixtures machined from plastic and aluminum in the past successfully. Plastic components are a bit trickier.

maybe superglue a magnet in a pocket inside the plastic fixture or even a piece of metal glues on the bottom of the 3d print for your mag plate to engage to
