My first post, quick question
From a design point of view, how structurally sound is a wall 1 mm thick for let's say Strong and Flexible material?
For example, let's say you modeled a tray for Strong and Flexible material with the following bounding box dimensions: 9cm x 5cm x 2cm. Would a wall of 1mm thickness be too brittle? Warping shouldn't be an issue since the thickness-length ration should be fine.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Strong and Flexible is anything but "brittle". "Pliable" is a better term for it.
The S&F materials are PA22 Nylon. There's a video on Youtube showing a credit-card sized peice being flexed without breakage.

That's good to know. I will design my next model accordingly.
Thanks again!
