How Aspect Ratio Impacts Cantilever Strength in 3D Printing

When printing a cantilever, the minimum wall thickness depends on the aspect ratio, which is the length of the cantilever divided by its width.

The aspect ratio should be less than 1 for a cantilever that is less than 1 mm wide. There aren't any specific recommendations for widths of 1 mm or more. It is best to make the walls thicker or add ribs or fillets to parts with a high aspect ratio to make them stronger.
