Polymaker High temperature PLA has been the long sought after win for lion applications, manely backflow incense burners.  They're particularly difficult because of the heat generated by cones.

Been using 230C nozzle, 55C build tak, 25mm/s wall speed, 50mm/s infill speed, .4mm nozzle, .32 layers.  It has similar layer adhesion difficulties as PETG but has a much higher melting point than even 250C rated vintage PETG.  It should be a better match for most every PETG application because it bonds to CA glue.

It has the consistency of clay.  It might be infused with clay to increase the melting point.

The 1kg roll is shorter than normal PLA because it's denser.  1kg is twice the price of the cheapest PLA so definitely not a general replacement for normal PLA.
