    PLA is actually fairly UV resistant, much more UV resistant than ABS. As an experiment, I hung several PLA prints on a south-facing fence post where they were fully exposed to the sun and the weather. They've been there nearly three years and have shown no sign of yellowing, and only a slight fading. On the other hand, PLA can warp in the hot sun. I've had PLA warp in a car parked in the sun on a hot day.
