    Mould Design? Detail possible with 3mm ABS?

    G'day everyone.

    I'm new to this.

    Therefore, I am after some advice before I go go making my first mould, and my question basically boils down to this: How much detail can I get from 3mm ABS?


    More specifically, I want to make a part with an area like the pictures below.


    Would the ABS full fill those circled areas completely, ie, would there be a sharp edge? Or, would it not fully fill the tight angle leaving a more rounded corner?


    FYI, the pics are not drawn perfectly to scale, but the measurements are correct.


    Thanks
