Need to print a couple small brackets that will be near (not on) the engine. Its gonna get pretty hot there.

Is PETG enough or should I go with ABS? Ive never printed ABS before.

Try printing at 245C with 70mm/s. That's my sweet spot for PETG.

I always do a temp tower first. Makes a huge difference in layer adhesion.
