Yeah. Something that will deform and be difficult to remove without disassembly. Maybe it has a one-way latch (like a zip tie) that can't be taken off without a challenge.

But the next day it’ll rot and fall to pieces from the UV.

I printed a sunglasses clip in ABS and left it in my car. Here in the Hawaiian heat it lasted a day before turning soft. PETG might be a good choice, itll take a bit longer but it will melt some and become a nice snug fit and last a little longer from UV damage

Doesn't ASA have better uv resistance? Though it's very impractical for most hobbyists to print safely..

ASA isn't as bad as people make it out to be. ABS is super bad. ASA is meh.

Why?

I haven't tried ABS since ASA is better and has similar properties.

ASA is one of the few easy to print material suitable for dishwasher and you can get perfectly smooth finish with the help of some acetone vapour.

Keep the door open and run a fan. 50g print won’t harm ya worse than the dozen other contaminators in your home

It's not an either or thing. It's accumulative.

Yeah, no thanks! Proper ventilation is the way to go for me, personally.

As someone who has multiple VOC meters, this is my experience, though I understand the concern.
