    It’s funny cause I always kinda thought that was a bit of hyperbole regarding uv exposure.

    Made a bracket to fix a broken mount for our back seat cam in our car. Printed in pla just to test the dimensions. It worked so I left it in the car. Didn’t make it a single day. Completely warped.

    Reprinted in petg and it’s been going strong for 2 weeks now.

      in a car? during summer? Ngl that sounds more like a temperature issue than a UV one. PLA doesn’t degrade that quickly and it can get pretty hot inside a car during the summer
