Most low-end 3D filament printers can print in either PLA,  ABS,  or even nylon.   PLA prints are known to distort in a hot car.  ABS is extruded at around 250C.  I think nylon is a bit higher.   I would think that ABS would work well.    There are now some low-ish cost  (like under $3000) stereo-lithography printers available that print by scanning a liquid resin with a laser.  Some of those resins are good for higher temperatures.  The low end resins have a glass transition temperature of around 100C.

Another possibility is to make a mold and cast the parts out of epoxy.   Epoxies that can handle over 400C are available.
