You could use ABS but if you wanted to use PLA use PLA/PHA it is much more durable. The best would be PeTG actually. It is really tough and prints easy.

My question is this: Do you think PLA will be fine outside or should I go with ABS? It will have direct sunlight, and big temp swings from summer to winter. I don't care what it looks like but that it holds up for a reasonable amount of time.
