PETG

PETG is often referred to as a combination of PLA and ABS. PETG is more tough, durable and can withstand higher temperatures than PLA. With a glass transition temperature of about 80 degrees, PETG filaments can have many uses. If your part both has to look good and withstand high temperatures from the sun or high power lamps as well as parts for a car on a hot summer day, PETG can be a great alternative. It is even great for fixtures in a workshop as the material does not break in the same way and can withstand hits much better than PLA.
