Think it can't be done? Let my kid show you. My 5 year old daughter showed me a little "table scrap" the other day telling me it was such and such a thing. I was deep into work but stopped short when I noticed what she had.
"How'd you do that?"
*shrug* "I just did."
Well, how else would you know unless you tried right? She had made some sort of chandelier / jewel holder by snapping a droid arm into the hollow stud of a cone. Not one of the clips on the droid arm, mind you. But onto what I would otherwise call a machining mark or decorative moulding pattern. Sure enough there's an adequate amount of raised surface at the elbow to snap it into a hollow stud... sometimes. But she had found two elements that worked. Ten minutes later something had worn off too much and it wouldn't properly stick anymore. So perhaps the half-life of the technique is rather short, or at least limited in uses. Nonetheless this adds a whole new element to the greebling process.
