For water applications PET or PLA would be the best don’t use nylon and ABS is a bitch to print with without enclosures. I would recommend you getting some protective epoxy for any prints you want to last for anything that is going to be in water just sand the part and put a marine epoxy layer on top of it the additional weight isn’t an issue.

I did a few upgrades, dampers, all metal hot end, other bed, Bowden tube, and have to install the additional support still.

Dampers were, mind blowing difference, I kept postponing it because I did not expect such big difference. Pity not all motors can be dampened
