A better choice would have been PEEK. But even then, I would have done a lot of on-the-ground testing before trusting my life to a part from the printer.

100% -- the original design for the Cozy is from the early 90s, before 3D printing became popular, and this part seems like a good candidate for 3D printing. It just seems like the maker chose the wrong materials and didn't test it adequately.

There’s a massive difference between the thermal properties of the materials you listed.

My guess, given the sheen that looks like CF would be PA-CF, which is the most appropriate and common filament with CF.
And PA-CF is usually pretty good with temps, I have used it for parts on engines before with good results, but not in safety critical scenarios.
