PETG filament is a useful alternative to PLA as it's still printable on the vast majority of budget 3D printers and has a glass temperature of typically 80°C. I've used it successfully many times for projects that come close to this for extended periods with no apparent issues.Also, the most common filament type (PLA) has a glass transition of around 60 °C. You'll get distortion and cracking if it's run warm for any amount of time.
I'm not affiliated with them in any way, but GratKit make sensibly priced PETG filament that my entry-level AnyCubic Kobra 2 Neo printer produces excellent results with. As the price difference is so little, I'm now transitioning away from standard PLA to PLA+ and PETG.
