    Everyone worried about the bending force, the retaining slots will tear out and drop the damn thing on the desk well before it bends.

      I not sure it would break first, it’s printed with 6 perimeters, the part is pretty strong !

        What material is it made from? Thermoplastics tend to warp under stress.

          It’s made of PLA, printed with 6 perimeters (2.4mm wall thickness) the front of the design is almost solid plastic (very little infill). It is probably to much and it would be fine with 3 or 4 perimeters. There is one test print I tried to break by using on as a lever against the other, I couldn’t even damage it.

      Yea and if you print this yourself and want better failure on force just add supports in-between the structure to kinda snap in half if it presses to hard
