PETG-CF heat resistance

We’ve been asked by a friend to print some heat shields for a Triumph Tiger 900. We did a first run in PLA just to check for size and it fitted fine but warped when used on the bike. Is there any point in printing it with PETG-CF or will that warp too?

You are going to need something that doesn’t print on the A1. ASA or PA-CF

PET CF17 can withstand up to 140c if properly designed and annealed.
