I designed a bracket and 3D printed it using PETG. The filament has a heat tolerance of 168º, and after testing the bracket bolted to the bay without the compressor, it got to 127º. The bracket is stout.

If you are interested, the file and printing instructions are on Thingiverse:

I’m trying to get this printed out now but need the dimensions. Would you happen to have those numbers?

He may have been concerned it was bigger than his machine could handle.
I saw on your upload that you specified PETG.. I've never printed PETG but recently bought the materials so that I can start printing ABS.. but anyways my question is.. PETG.. do you think that can handle the high temps in the engine bay?

The bracket only reaches 127º in my tests. PETG is good for about 176º. I've run mine for about a thousand miles and it's fine.

Having had it for a bit, are there any design changes you would do or is it great the way it is. I have a line on getting it printed. Leaning towards this set up. Thanks again for sharing your ideas.
