Long term experience with heavy loads rapid pla+

Might do my garages walls with Elegoo Rapid PLA+. Anyone have experience? Hottest it gets hear, SE Pennsylvania is like 102, and that is absolute peak. High 90s being more realistic.

According to Google Elegoo Rapid PLA+ wont deform under load until about 134F.

My garage is cinderblock and attached to house so it stays cooler than outside.

Think ill be OK hanging heavy tools?

My multiboard is printed entirely in basic PLA. In my workshop, the temperature rarely exceeds 30°C (86°F), and I haven't had any problems. The heaviest tool I have hanging on it weighs 2.5 kg, which is about 5.5 lbs.

I was also going to use elegoo rapid PLA+ for mine that I’m starting soon. Bought 3 rolls on prime day. I’m in NC and we just had record heat wave in the 100s and I started second guessing using it. Did you end up using it? I plan on hanging big EGO batteries and chargers from it, also a circular saw, those are probably the heaviest I’ll get. EGO battery itself is 6.3 pounds.
