Marine/UV resilience of 3D printing materials
Thinking about getting a statuette 3D printed for display in the cockpit - what if any materials are likely to survive serious sun and saltwater exposure? Anyone able to comment from personal or professional experience?

PETG would be the best fillament to use. ABS and PLA will absolutely fall apart due to UV.

I don't think salt will impact any of them.
