this is awesome stuff..(rubbing hands with glee)
and hopefully more flood of it in the FT pipeline.

Dunno, but I don't think it's HDPE.

Not really that flexy, and doesn't feel like it's self lubricating (HDPE leaches oils continiously, making the surface perpetually slick -- good for reducing friction, bad for adhesives). The shiny you're seeing is the finish off the injected mold.

It does have a a slight bit of flex to it, but I'd say it leans toward the harder side of plastics without going brittle hard.

i'm guessing PP? .. doesn't look like Nylon nor FRP.
slight flex i suppose is ok although in general, stiff is the usual choice for this mechanism.
