    Help! My PLA prints go limp in the sunshine.

    I print a lot of mechanical parts in PLA. I have found when I have them outside they go limp and misshapen when in the sunlight. Is there a filament that solves this problem?

    ABS, PETG, Nylon.. anything but PLA.. PLA goes limp at about 110F. Do a google search on 3d filament types and read the pros and cons of each material .

    Try pla plus materials, or use more heat-resistant abs instead
