Summary

My original Whirpool dishwasher capsule holder had broken so I decided to design new one. I created a copy of the original and printed it by using PETG. It didn't work well - hooks were deforming. I had to make the hooks stronger so I made them thicker than original.
Thicker hookes from PETG performed quite well but I was not satisfied - slight hooks' bend after several cycles.
I switched print material to HD PLA (PLA HEAT RESISTANT) and annealing the print in oven. I am personaly the most satisfied with HD PLA result. You can use PETG as me before I found out HD PLA by Fiberlogy.

Please don't forget to use support for the hooks and I recommend to use support also on sides with holes.
