i look forward to the further developments you will be sharing
The material is softer than ABS. Structural parts should be at least 2 mm thick, otherwise they will not be stiff enough. The grainy finish is comparable to the plastic used for ATM SAS parts (black and grainy).
Increased friction can be a concern for the free sliding of the knuckle steering rod but is also an advantage with stronger screw locking.
