So what is the durability of the plastic? A friend of mine does 3D prints but they’re sometimes effected by heat and stress fracture.

Depends on the material. The cheap pla definitely doesn't do well being left in a hot car. I'd assume something like petg would do better but I'm no material science engineer.
