What's the right kind of fastener to create small pin joints (2 flat parts about 3-5mm thick each, with 3mm holes)? I need both moving joints and fixed-but-adjustable (ie easy to loosen/reposition/tighten)
Is a simple nut/bolt the best option for fixed?
For moving...what???

Found the answer, Chicago screws is what I want for the moving joints.

Second binding screws as useful. They are also called 'chicago screws'. Another useful fastener to look at for applications like this are small clevis and cotter pins.

You can also sometimes use two rare earth magnets. Have one sticking out a bit and the other sunk a bit. Holds together pretty well in certain uses.
