After tweaking our slicing settings for these printed spool holders, we decided to put one to the test. See the video here

The measured load before failure was about 375 N, or 84 lb!

  Hi John,

  This was printed in PLA. We varied the infill and temperature settings in 3 processes throughout the length of the part, starting out dense and hot, and then lowering both parameters over the next two processes. I believe it went from 60% fill and 225 C to 10% fill and 215 C.
