I'm looking to replace a panel of my computer mouse with a 3D printed part. I don't want to create a permanent bond (such that it can be changed out in the future), so I was considering something like rubber cement or silicone caulking to affix it. Thought I would check with those more knowledgeable as to the suitability of those options/suggestions for others.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Not my pictures.

Yeah, the model not being a full replacement of the rubber part was annoying. I used an Xacto knife to cut the rubber before removing it, leaving it in place where the replacement didn't reach. There is no wear and tear that far up the mouse so it doesn't look half bad.
