With the HPA potentially going through, would this be a good option for cheap, printed cans? I suppose we'll need testing, which we'll see a lot of if they're deregulated

I think the super high softening temp, even unannealed, means it’ll probably last longer before blowing out, but you’re right that the HPA would open up testing so much that there’d be no need to speculate. One guy with a super safety, a dozen cans in different filaments, and a case of 556 is all the data we need.

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.
