3d Printing Thread

Apparently my local chainsaw shop wont work on saws over 10 years old. Mine is over 20 and in good shape for now. Could the plastic used for 3d printing hold up to heat? I'm curious if something like this could be a fix on parts you can't find.
It would depend on the temperature you are talking about , i print with ABS and it can handle 60°c with no deformation im sure there are better filaments available now a days but this is what i use for real world applications

Great, thanks for that. 60° c is hot! I like what I'm hearing. I really don't know how much heat it will need to handle, just preparing for when I cant find a part lol. 60°c is encouraging to hear.

PLA starts to transition to soft at 40c. ASA could work, i need to check. To print it you need a hardened steel hotend and an enclosed chamber printer.

Eta: ASA softens at 105c so you're good at 60c with this filament
