Missing Battery Terminal Cover

I broke and threw out my battery terminal cover about 10 years ago. I saw a couple other threads where other people were missing theirs, so I ended up designing and 3d printing a drop in replacement:

Acura TL 4G (2009-2014) Battery Terminal Cover Door

It's one of the first things I've designed from scratch. It fits tight, and looks better than the gaping hole. Feel free to print your own

What material are you using for the print? I'd like to print one and am thinking PETG vs PLA.

Ideally you'd want to use ABS/ASA since it's going in the engine compartment and will be pretty warm and toasty... you may/may not get away with PETG, but PLA is not something i'd risk in that environment

I suppose it wouldn't be completely inappropriate to say that things get very hot under the covers over there
