/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I figure the guy who originally made the model just took results from people's layer height tests for tensile strength, because something around 0.15mm layer height is often where tensile strength begins to fall off.
there's not a ton of information from people bending sheet steel with PLA dies/jigs.
but i think i'm wrong about printing it vertically (with the compressive force normal to the bed) because the punch will push outwards on the inside of the cup and it'll shear the thin edges of the die.

intuitively though it seems like if i print in the vertical orientation like in

it makes sense to me that i could up the layer height without consequence, because there's fucking zero tensile stress affecting layer adhesion. the only concern is splitting between the layers from compression.
