Force to smooth a 1 mm surface bump out of a steel of sheet

AI Thread Summary
The force required to smooth a 1 mm surface bump from a steel sheet depends on the bump's shape and formation method. A steep-edged bump created by punching may require minimal energy to flatten but could easily fall back out. Conversely, a conical bump necessitates a force equivalent to that used in its creation for effective flattening. Additional factors such as the possibility of using heat, access to a press, and the type of steel (low or high carbon) also influence the required force. Understanding these variables is crucial for determining the appropriate approach to flattening the bump.

TL;DR Summary
How much force does it take to have 1 mm surface bump of diameter 16 mm circle area out of 1 mm thick steel plate
Roughly, how much force does it take to make 1 mm surface bump of diameter 16 mm circle area out of 1 mm thick steel plate of far larger area (e.g. a muscled hand pounding it laid over the base with 16 mm dia. hole by M16 bolt medium is viable enough) ?

It depends on the shape of the bump and how it was formed.

If a steep edged bump with a flat top was created with a punch, then the disc will now be free. It will take little energy to knock the punching back into the hole, but it will probably fall out again.

If the bump is conical, it will take as much force to flatten it, as was used to create it.

What shape is the bump, and how was it formed.
 
How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
