Why has 3D printed plastic monofilament manufacturers ignored the latest technologies that allow for UV and thermal fortification of polyamide filament to last over 50 years outdoors without degradation on the surface or bulk of the final part and stabilize the colorants added to the matrix. This would significantly expand the end use market for drones and parts that require such long term fortification form photo-thermo oxidative degradation and discoloration chalking and Environmental stress cracking from VOC, HAPs and other halogenated chemicals that attack polyamides. The same technology is not being used for thermoplastic polyester and polyether ether ketones and much more!!

An administration outright hostile to fossil fuels isn't helping.
Excellent and insightful supply chain analysis, thanks!
