I was looking at the data sheets comparing PLA Pro and HT-PLA-GF. It seems that the HT-PLA-GF has noticeably lower Z axis strength than the Pro. I don’t know if it is low enough to matter. It also doesn’t perform as well on impact strength. Hopefully it is strong enough because it looks really promising.

Printed cans don't seem to heat up the way metal cans do. They aren't that thermally conductive and have low thermal mass. What I have seen on here leads me to believe that strength is more important than temperature resistance for printed cans, but a side by side comparison will be the best way to learn for sure.
