horizontal print separation
Hello.
I have problem with horizontal separation , im trying to print a up side down "T" and when i apply some pressure to it sideways this happens:
it seams to be quite ok vertically
0,6mm nozle, noname PLA

Under extruding. Try hotter.

Narrow parts stressed at 90 degrees to the lay of the filament are inherently weak, you only have the layer adhesion to overcome for a break. @dan-rogers' suggestion should improve layer adhesion which will help but don't expect a great difference.
For strength you can either add buttresses if there is room or you can reorient the part. If you rotate it 90 degrees so the first layer draws a 'T' on the plate the filament will be laid down continuously around the join and the part will be much stronger at that point.
Cheerio,

a tiny bit ABS in the extruder ,had to heat it up with a blowtorch

Yikes ... i hope there is something left of the extruder body.
