need recommendations on filament or resin

[Brandon]

So, what I'm looking to do is print some parts for my rainwater collection system. the system I have now is a couple years old and I want to update it to a something more self-sufficient.

I need a filament or resin with high and low temp resilience, but that I don't need a special set up to print. I've used PLA, PLA+, PETG and TPU in the past for other projects but I don't believe any of these will give me what I'm looking for.

I've considered using Carbon Fiber, but I don't want the hassle of building a print box and having to vent it outside or having to switch to a hardened nozzle. I live un Upstate New York, we have some very warm days in the summer and some very cold days in the winter. I need a material that will hold up fairly well so I can get at least a couple years out of the parts before I need to print another.

I have an Anycubic Mega X filament printer as well as an Anycubic photon m3 premium resin printer.

I have printed some parts in PLA+ for outside, and if they are not in consistent sun exposure, you should be OK.
ABS has also treated me well outside ...

Ho, and avoid dark colors and a good coat of gloss paint helps a lot protect from UV damages too 👍

They will be in direct sun for most of the day. I'll look into ABS

ABS would be my choice too; And a good coat of some exterior paint, the glossier, the better 👍

I would suggest looking into ASA for long term outdoor applications. Nylon or polycarbonate have decent anti uv and great strength/durability properties but are more challenging to print with unless your printer(s) can get up to the necessary temperature/are enclosed (is a plus but not required)/have compatible printer bed material(s). The ASA would be a better option it sounds like.

Ill research it more, thanks for the recommendation!
