It's a quick calculation -- 200,000 * weight of half the part that
extends to the full radius is the force. Say the weight is .1 gram.
Force is 20kg
For extruded plastic with some voids or sintered plastic with some voids
it could only hang together if in a sphere solid shape. The cross section
with 20kg force pulling it apart would be maybe 25 mm squared area if solid.
Since it is a hollow thin shape to hold a removeable tube,
answer is no. Area might be as low as 5mm square area.
Does sound like an app for Ti metal.
