Hello guys, I am new to 3d printing and materials and working on a university project based on study of applications of 3d printers. I need to design a specimen which can be made with any of the plastics PLA or ABS. I've designed the basic model of the specimen in Autodesk 123D Design softwareUntitled.stl I need to justify and find the dimensions of this specimen using some technical information for maximum strength until failure. It is a pin joint in the centre and the maximum load in 1000N. I need to find the upper and the lower limits of the variables and the mechanism of failure expected. I'll be very grateful if you guys could help me find some related information. Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
