Adhesive Help - Rubbery Bond Could Pull Off if Desired (lemmy.ca)

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.

That's an interesting one. My sweaty palms gaming days are behind me, so I'm not super worried about abusing the shell. The level of destructiveness/invasiveness of drilling through the mouse is a bit high for this kind of cheap part replacement.
