0.5-1°
Draft for ejection. Per side.
FAQ

Center-to-center 3-5× wall thickness. Tighter = stiffer but more material.
OD 2× thread/insert. Wall 60% of base wall. Generous base fillet.
Cross (X) ribs 2-3× stiffness vs parallel. Per loading direction.
Sufficient draft (0.5-1° per side). Generous fillets help.
Rib pattern 2-5× plain plate stiffness. Without weight or sink marks.
