It's funny cause I always kinda thought that was a bit of hyperbole regarding uv exposure.

Made a bracket to fix a broken mount for our back seat cam in our car. Printed in pla just to test the dimensions. It worked so I left it in the car. Didn't make it a single day. Completely warped.

Reprinted in petg and it's been going strong for 2 weeks now.
