Anecdote about how badly ABS ages: I have a 30+ year old car and all the parts on it are fine EXCEPT everything made from ABS.

After this long inside a car (little UV exposure I'm guessing, but lots of heat exposure) the strength of 1 to 2 mm thick ABS is "empty egg shell" strength. Really really brittle.




Time to get a 3D printer!
