A few months back I was show this fun little tool called Clecos, they're little fasteners that are meant for joining sheet metal seams, or layering sheet metal through the drilled holes. Often used in air craft manufacturing. Decided to get me some to see if I can use them to help hold two pieces together while glue dries, or while I dry fit something. Designed some little “plates” that have two holes for the cleco fasteners to go through and into the material. They worked great, made gluing easier because I can fit more clecos on a seam to hold two pieces together, than I can clamps. Plus because of how they work, they work well for round shapes, and where you can't get a clamp normally.
My first batch was printed using an Ender 3, worked great, second batch was printed using a Photon Mono 4K. Second batch has text on each plate that says what size of cleco it uses, because there are multiple sizes. I have the lengths of the plates measured hole center to hole center. The 20mm ones work great, and you can still get your tool in there to attach or detach the clecos.
Material I recommend using is a cheap filament, or a tough/flexible resin. you are putting a clamping force onto the material, and if you use a resin that isn't a tough/flexible resin, it will crack or break the plate print. I suggest getting your drill bit and running it through the holes in the plate before first use, just to insure it's the correct size of hole, that way you're not trying to jam the cleco through a hole that's too small.

That's your basic starter kit, you can buy more clecos, they sometimes come with the pliers, sometimes with bags. the side grip clams are great for clamping, just avoid fingers or anything that you don't want to be strongly clamped, they're not forgiving.
Files for 1/8in Clecos are:
