Tried using a 3D printed bracket for a motion sensor in a client's garage and it melted from the summer heat in Phoenix.
I learned the hard way that PLA filament has a low glass transition point after the sensor fell off the wall and triggered a false alarm at 2 AM, so what materials do you guys use for custom mounts in hot environments?

My outdoor camera mount in Tucson warped last July when it hit 118 degrees. I switched to ASA filament and haven't had a single issue since, even through this past heatwave. It prints almost like PLA but handles UV and high temps much better.

Wait, 118 degrees? That's not just hot, that's melt-your-face-off hot...
