Hi, I am currently working on making a modular system to make presentation plinths to put ( light ) objects on top on. This would be indoors so no extreme temp/UV resistance is required.

I want to make 8 corner pieces as shown, connected by friction on the top and bottom by aluminium bars and on the vertical legs, I would add a insert at the vertical nub to insert a screw to disassemble the plinth for storage.

I would print the corners with the side that holds the insert on the top so that the layer liners are compressed when there is something atop the plinth. Shearing would not be a big problem, I think

Now, all this preamble to just ask: what filament would you suggest for this use. Would PETG be durable

PS: I already have made a few very sturdy prototypes, so I do not need guidance on the design. Just your opinions on filament will do.
