There are such devices though I think they use ABS plastic. Newer ones (3D

I use hot melt glue on mine. I won't get gooy
and let things fall off and
it's fairly easy to remove things when you want to. I've got about six fans
mounted at critical points in mine and they're all held in with HM glue.
Wow, you demonstrate the other half of my theory: that there are
two kinds: some use duct tape, some use hot glue.
I've daydreamed about a rapid prototyping machine that used
relatively inexpensive hot glue sticks to create plastic 3D models.
