Joining two STEMFIE parts using clamps and filament rivets

The following images and video show a proof of concept on how two parts can be held together. One version is based on a clamp design, and the other uses a short piece of 1.75 mm filament with molten tips as a rivet joint.

This design is inspired by the STEMFIE motor enclosure designed by Brendon Collecutt.
