What is a consequence of having a wall thickness that is too thin in FDM prints?

In Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) prints, having a wall thickness that is too thin can lead to small parts becoming fragile and easily breakable. Thin walls cannot provide sufficient structural integrity, which means they lack the strength needed to withstand mechanical forces or stress during typical use or handling. This fragility is especially problematic for smaller components, as they naturally have limited material to begin with, and even minor loads can cause them to fail.

While other options highlight potential issues like increased weight, warping, or longer printing times, the direct consequence of insufficient wall thickness is the impact it has on the durability and resilience of the printed object, leading to a higher likelihood of breakage. Adequate wall thickness is crucial to ensure that prints meet the intended functionality and performance standards.
