Same as any other material, thick walls will make it more rigid. This is much stiffer than it looks and the Sony Action Cams that I use it with have built in image stabilization. I don't have any issue with picture shake, any more than a standard mount. Besides this, Shapeways uses
selective laser sintering not the more common addative method used in hobby 3D printers
