For best results, print the main body in PLA and the seals in flexible TPU. As for the O ring, it is recommended to buy an O ring rather than print it as this will give the best shape. If the user wants to pump at maximum speed, it is recommended to use PETG rather than PLA to stop the casing from warping with heat.
