Best options for prints handling high levels of humidity (lemmy.world)

Hello everyone!

I was asked to print someone a case which would be placed in a bathroom and my question is:

What would be the best filament option for it? (We have PLA and PETG currently.)

Some general questions relating to this:

How long does PLA last indoors?
How does PETG & PLA in particular handle humidity after being printed?

Thank you guys in advance!

PLA's dirty secret is that it will not breakdown under normal conditions. I have a PLA soap dish and its exactly the same as.it was the day i printed it.
