What plastic did you use to 3D print it? Any worries about steam or other heat softening it over time?


PLA. Initially used ABS due to the higher temperature tolerances, but remarkably, PLA worked better in practice. Perhaps due to a cleaner, more even print. (Using a Raise3D E2 filament printer) As mentioned earlier, had originally planned on an aluminum plate on the bottom to deal with warping from steam, but hasn't been a problem since switching to PLA.
