3d printed items useful for go karting

[kchatham (Kyle Chatham)]

How well do 3D printed (plastic) parts hold up on a kart?

Like JM said, PLA has one of the lowest, if not lowest TG temperatures of mainstream 3d printing materials (not including TPUs or other flexible materials). It does have decent tensile strength, but is also brittle. Overall I wouldn’t use it for karting. If you want to make good parts that are robust then I would say your options are primarily: PETG, ABS, nylon, PC, or filled version of those (glass or carbon). For the most part these are In order of printing difficulty and strength (easy/weak ->…
