Without knowing how hot the busbar gets, or a vague temperature range required, it *might* be difficult to suggest a solution.

I need a frame to hold a copper busbar in place. The busbar is rated up to 200 amps and can be wrapped in an insulator, so the frame will sit around the insulator of the busbar, but I don't know how hot it gets.

I would like to 3D print a frame to hold the busbar in place, what is the most suitable filament for this application?
