Filament Recommendations:

I tested the hanger outside on a warm (90F 33C) day, 60+% humidity, in the shade and sun for 24 hours. PLA held the load, but deformed in sunlight. PCTG was too flexible and failed. PETG-CF worked well. ASA, ABS, PA6-GF may also be good choices but were not tested. Start with what is easiest for you to print, such as PLA+ and see how things work! Though 40% infill throughout was used for my tests, The PLA deformation (drooping) could have been compression around the joint under the hook. Creating a 100% infill in this area may be something to try for a PLA print.
