The instructions recommend to print with ABS. Any reason for not going for PETG or PLA ?

Higher glass transition temp so can be left in the car, and less prone to break when dropped?
PLA and PETG start to soften at lower temps, 60C and 80C respectively. But ABS is up at 105C, so it won't have any chance of deforming in a hot car or something.

I still think 80C on PETG should be high enough, and it's a much nicer material to print.
