I have worked with Kydex. I use it for molding my own holsters. Problem is its generally softer material and more expensive. I use ABS for its ease. I heat it with my heat gun, bend it and it stays just like that. Kydex, cause its softer, can actually stretch over time and the ABS is a stiffer product for mounting things to.
