Printing and assembling it in PLA would be easy, but there's not enough structure there for me to have confidence that it wouldn't sag under its own weight the first time I left it out in the summer sun at a show.
Martin,
You might try ASA filament it seems to hold up in higher temps and less warping on the print bed than ABS, also less toxic fumes.
It looks like mine will be indoors, so the sun may not be a problem, it's only the tankers that melt from the heat here in Florida.
