Should be printed in PETG for best hinge action. PLA doesn't have enough give to it to properly adjust the hinge angle, however you can always just tighten it down to a set angle or use a spring washer. Assemble hinge before installing on keyboard, tighten until it cannot move and then loosen it until it snaps between angles easily but holds firmly – jdigi78.
