Hello everyone!

I was asked to print someone a case which would be placed in a bathroom and my question is:

What would be the best filament option for it? (We have PLA and PETG currently.)

Some general questions relating to this:

  • How long does PLA last indoors?
  • How does PETG & PLA in particular handle humidity after being printed?

Thank you guys in advance!

Both materials will last a long time indoors. Moisture will not cause issues with either material after printing.
