Hi,
we are building an open source wifi mesh router for crisis situations (http://www.meshpoint.me 1), and we are still searching for ideal outdoor material to 3D print our cases.

What would you recommend? Our requirements are:
- no warping (because we have high walls, 10 and 20cm high parts)
- can stand desert and winder temperatures (-20°C / +60°C or -4F / 140F )
- price (because we use around 400g per device price or material is also really big concern)
- fast printing (we use 0.8 nozzle but still we need material that can handle fast prints)
- UV resistance is not an issue because paint can take care of that…

What would you recommend?

Thank you in advance for all your comments and your knowledge.

It looks like PETG material could be a really good choice. Does anyone here have experience using PETG?
