Temperature WIthstanding Capabilities of PLA and ABS

[Steve N @discosteve My Robox is a Blue Commercial Version]

Can people give me an appoximation of the temperatures that PLA and ABS printed objects will withstand before they warp or melt?

I know PLA runs at a lower head temperature than ABS

I printed two Pet Food Can Lids in PLA the other week for my dogs and my wife accidentally put one of them in the dishwasher

As you can see from the attached, the unfortunate lid shrink (from 8cm diameter to about 7cm) and warped in on itself
