it actually got to be dangerous to try to bend / snap it, i was applying so much force i was concerned that shards might fly off. applying a *lot* of pressure - enough to make marks on my fingers - only bent it about 2-3mm out of shape.
Did you also try some fall tests, because that's more likely to happen in real life.
on the one prototype being used for the crowd-funding?? naah!
Especially as the case design is not monilithic (if I remember correctly), the shock forces will get applied to the weakest parts.
Hey, it's OK if you actually didn't ;-)
well... honestly... if people do drop it, they're on their own, and get to keep all the pieces. buuuut... that's no different from any mass-volume product... the difference being: you get to be able to 3D-print your *own* replacement parts, and repair it yourself.
as opposed to "throw the whole thing out"
You could test with pieces that had 3d printing problems, so as not to destroy any good ones.
And then label the project as being Eco-consciously tested !
mmm... yyeahh not today :)
