It would not. Static electricity in insulators such as plastic is localized. It can’t move across the plastic to the grounding point.

Windex007@lemmy.world 19 hours agoI don’t know much about static electricity and plastic, but would it be sufficient to ground off an arbitrary point in the case to the body of the PSU?

I’d recommend using conductive filament if you can or even just coating it with conductive paint before it touches anything electrically sensitive might do the trick. It doesn’t have to be a great conductor, just a tiny bit of conductivity will prevent any significant static charges from building up.
