  What is the plastic of your choice?

  PLA, PETG, … behave like a very slowly flowing liquid as such the print will deform/expand (creep).

      For production parts look at other materials. Polycarbonate might still be within the range of your 3D-printer.

      For attaching: If you can’t clamp then look at gluing it in place. If you need it detachable maybe drill a hole in the shaft and use a R-clip.
