Just a few advanced materials you might want to look at for your next project

[PC] (polycarbonate) is not bad, but print temp and bed needs only about 110 max, still needs 310 hotend. It wwill stretch and deform long before breaking

[Nylon] (Polyamide) may need up to about 300 on the hotend, but the bed can be about 60. requires constant drying, even while printing. so needs an active dryer with a feed out to the printer. I do not recommend this one for the faint of heart. Nylon requires more tweaking than most hobbiest like to spend unless you have played with it in industrial settings like I have, and understand (moisture, cooling, severe warping, etc). Also require no fan and draft free. Great material, but difficulty for home printer is up there at a 9 out of 10.

ABS (Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is one of the first go-to items people try when first jumping past the PLA and PETG realm. it works, and most people stop here, thought to be honest, need a bed temp of about 110, an a draft free enclosure(even if that enclosure is a large cardboard box). Hotend temp up to 250, (maybe even higher with high speed printers)

[ASA] (acrylic styrene acrylonitrile) is a 260 hotend, 120 bed, probably right behind ABS on the list of first jump into higher tech filaments along with ABS. This one has 10% glass fill, which helps with dimensional stability

[POM] (Polyoxymethylene) Personally on a moving wear item the best material would be what we call POM, brand name you might be familiar with is "Delrin". Open up anything with a drawer glide, and if it's not on a bearing. it's riding on Delrin. high stiffness, extremely low friction. If you can find a way to swing the bed temp for ABS, you might be able to swing the extra 20 degrees to get up to 130 bed temp needed for POM.

Don't have a great easy solution to offer that are really simple, but maybe something to consider whether what you do is worth upgrading to a different printer when you are ready to jump off that cliff.

Whatever you do, don't forget to step back and take a breath. if it was easy, everyone would be playing better materials. Nothing you can't do, just a bit of a learning curve.
