Polypropylene, hands down. Most plastic thingies that're meant to bend constantly without wearing out are PP. Like those little straw caps attached to big drink tumblers? The bendy part, if not the whole hinge, is usually PP i think. I think generally things that could be described as "living hinges".
I will say though, that it's easily the most difficult filament I've ever had the displeasure of printing. It absolutely REFUSES to stick to literally anything but other polypropylene lol. What you do is just put some packing tape on your bed, that stuff's made of PP as well.
This is pure genius. Is the tape too stuck or you can remove it ?
It's not too hard to remove from the bed. It will, however, become one with the print itself lol
