This is cool, but long-term I’d feel much better printing it in PETG or maybe even nylon. PLA has a habit of “creeping” (flowing like glass) when under sustained load. I think when used like this to hold up something heavy it will gradually pull out of the hole, or lose its grip on the screw, or both, and then fail catastrophically. Could take days or weeks depending on the load, but it will happen.
