Title: Is 3mm Sintra enough to support 5 lbs?
Post by: MaltiK on August 23, 2008, 03:24:20 PM

depends on how much space between the supports.

Depends on length and width, and where the force is applied. Also depends on how you define 'support'.

Not breaking? Or just serious bending? Perhaps zero bending (impossible)?
