Otherwise consider resin print. If it's not an option, don't be cheap on the plastic. Use PLA or stronger, go 100% infill and print with an angle (orientation of a potential crack to filament layer). Adapt the joystick response curves so you don't yank your stick like a mad man. Then it'll be fine.</li></ul>
