How much weight can be attached to a large limb element?

[Poco Lypso]

Was wondering, the larger limb element starts bending a bit when elements are attached to it. Is there a guideline on how much is too much?

You may want to be a bit more specific regarding the part(s) in-question, and precisely how much weight you want the model to be able to hold.

That's hard to pin down exactly. I wanted more foliage pieces and realized the limb element will start bending slightly at some point. Ig that's normal but I would imagine at some point it might break if left in that position for an extended period of time

It will likely depend on other variables too, such as temperature,  temperature fluctuations, light levels, location (chemicals in the air from food, cleaning or deodorant,  etc) , as well as a good dose of randomness experienced by the part during production.

Why not simply post a photo instead of dancing around the issue? I mean it's literally 7th grade basic physics knowledge to figure out how much force a lever needs to pivot around a point when there is a known counter force and all parameters are known or measurable.
