Material Recommendation
Since the component is used in the engine compartment, it should definitely be **3D printed** from a **heat-resistant material**
**Recommended:**
- PA / Nylon – best choice for temperature and load capacity
- ABS / ASA – good heat resistance, but print cleanly and rework if necessary
- PETG – only conditionally recommended, rather for tests or less hot areas
**Not recommended:**
- PLA
- PLA Silk
- normal, brittle decorative material
PLA is not suitable for the engine compartment, as it can soften and deform with heat
- Before installation, check whether the diameter and position fit the vehicle
- Check all edges and sealing surfaces after printing
- Check component for cracks, leaks, and clean layer adhesion
- Tighten clamps only enough for the component to sit securely but not be damaged
- After the first test drive, check again that everything is sealed and tight
- Maintain sufficient distance from hot engine parts, manifold, turbo, and moving parts
