Looks like a difficult part to print!

Due to the sharp right angles I can see multiple stress points, proper layer adhesion is critical (is it possible add a slight chamfer to reduce stress?).

I'd recommend nylon PA12 for the print as you'll have strength and flexibility. Next would be polycarbonate and I wouldn't attempt PLA or ABS.

Cheers
