There are some crazy plastics you can 3d print (with high end printers) like PEEK. Most consumer grade printers can't print those sorts of advanced materials that would be suitable. Most consumer resin prints are very brittle and not very suitable either.

If you ordered it from a print shop with the right equipment and materials, FDM printing should be fine.
