If I order from dl2man.de what filament is used for the 3D printed case? I live in the sothern US and plan to carry it around in my car. Some plastics will deform from the heat.

PETG I believe. keep it out of direct sunlight, in your car.

In a hot car, ABS would probably be best, but it is not as easy to print, has odor when printing, etc.

I have had several 3D printed items deform while leaving in my van in FL. Once was my fault, it was in a cup holder exposed to direct sunlight. Second time it was in the back and only deformed a little but it happened.
I now use a soft sided cooler to store my 3D printed items in my vehicle without a problem
I hope this helps you.
