Printing new fan door and loveboard cover/shroud - can I print these in PLA?

Hello all,

I had to replace the fan on my mk4, and I found the wire routing to be a pain, so I redesigned the fan door and loveboard cover to make it less annoying to do that in the  future.

Do you think I can get by with printing those parts in PLA, as I have have orange PLA? Or do you think they'd sag and I need to use ASA (which I have, just not in orange) ?

Thank you!

Never mind - I just realized that one part explicitly says "ASA recommended or similar" (the fan shroud), so I am guessing I am OK with PLA.

RE:

I would do PETG minimum.  That's what the MK4 came stock with.  The 4S is PCCF.

Are you running in an enclosure?

It needs to be PETG minimum then. PCCF, out ASA would be even better, but since they are just covers not 100% necessary.
