Here’s my take on it, as someone who sells 3D printed things.
Infill percentage doesn’t matter as much as wall and top bottom thickness. My go to is 4 layers top, bottom, and walls. But for products I sell I usually do 25% infill, unless it’s very thin, like a stylus, then it’s 100%.
PLA is a good material for a lot of things. But for tactile things PETG and ABS are better.
And for the other two haven’t had the need to, at least not for a third party service seeing I have a 3D printer.
