Hi, I’m searching for a fillament with a similar hardness/resistance to PLA but which doesn’t plasticly deform when bent for longer periods of time.

This is for a wearable, specificly the c3cat cat ears. I printed mine out of PLA but they got too loose after 2 days of wearing.

I already got reccommended TPU 100A, but I worry that it’s too soft.

Thankies :3

    So… PETG and ABS/ASA- as already mentioned here- will probably be the best bet.

    But if your printer can handle it (i don’t know how difficult it is, mind,) polypropylene might be a good option. For example, the tic tac lid is made out of ppe.
