Material recommendation for dishwasher part

Zortrax M200 General Discussion
#1

Hi All,

I have been asked to print a replacement part for a dishwasher. A small pulley that is inside the dishwasher. What would be the best material for this application? Z-UltraT? 

Or would I be better off using a 3rd party material of another type?

Thanks!

I'm not sure whats temperature is going to be exposed on. ABS / ULTRAT / HIPS should be fine below 120*C

If the parts are not visible, need to handle a lot of stress and chemicals I always use Z-GLASS. I find it to have the strongest layer bonding and overall part strength.

Thanks to you both for the suggestions. After viewing the broken part I had doubts about if any 3D FDM printable material would be suitable. The owner of the dishwasher has chosen to buy a replacement instead.
