So after building a new machine and getting the Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Aura,  I got a 3D printer and started to teach my self modeling and printing.  Since that mother board has stand offs for attaching 3d printed items like IO Covers and armor.  I wanted to start adding some of this stuff to my rig.  

 

Has anyone done this with PLA?  How does the PLA deal with the temps of the inside of a PC Case?

ABS would be my material of choice as it has a higher glass transition temp, or the point where it will become soft or rubbery as PLA has a much lower temp of around ~60C where it can warp when left in a hot car. ABS is a fair bit higher at around ~100C so the air wouldn't get that hot.
