Should I use PETG for Moving Parts?

I tried to print this tripod that can collapse and expand (in PLA), but when I was trying to fit everything together, it didn’t slide smoothly. Instead, it made irritating sounds, ground on the plastic, and got irreversibly stuck… Should I heard PETG is good for sturdy prints, and is recommended for Dummy 13 and other jointed moving prints, so should I use it for a tripod?
