Would styrene be strong enough?




Styrene is pretty brittle. It's usually mixed in with other
plastics to give it a shiny appearance. You'd probably be
happier with polypropylene. It has some flex to it, and is
stronger.

Don't know where you'd get it, though.




We might be able to make some better suggestions, if we had a link to a
picture of the part in question, both alone and as part of the end assembly.
