Depending on the exact mechanical load and material used to print, you might get away with 100°C100 °C. Next

Next to the melting temperature required to print the material (Whichwhich will always be substantially higher than the maximum useable temperature!), you probably also want to have a look at the glass temperature of your specific material. Around that temperature your material becomes soft (rubber like) and can deform permanently when cooling down again. Chances exist that under a considerable mechanical load, the part will deform at even lower temperatures. Maybe

Maybe it would help to post a picture or describe the exact component you're trying to replicate. It might help in finding an alternative solution. (EgE.g. carving out of say PEEK to say anything.)
