even the PLA that can be heat treated will never stand up to the kinds of temps the inside of a car will see.

Tough PLA is just made to with stand more impact and abuse, but not temperature. If it is to be used in a car I would stay with ABS. I use PETG for such places myself. I use for parts on printers that will be near the hotend as well.

Will the car get to hot and cause it to warp. I live in florida si the car interior gets HOT during the summer.
I know ABS is ok but at the present all I have is PLA and Tough PLA.

Thanks
Dale
