When 3D printing mounting accessories for minirack, it is important to be vigilant when choosing the material. Common materials like PLA have a [heat deflection temperature](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_deflection_temperature) that is too low; the heat generated by the various hardware in the rack would stretch the plastic. More heat-resistant materials like PETG are preferred as they offer better durability, but they often require more effort to achieve the same printins results as with PLA. I personally printed all my mounting accessories with their front faces against the print bed with PETG, and the results are satisfactory except for a few small imperfections that can be easily removed with cutting pliers and a few strokes of a wire brush.
