It seems you have mount extension fixed on wooden base (mount itself is out of frame)? You want this wooden part printed?
Hardwood may cope OK with side-load (and bend) if oriented properly (like a pole), but plastic will definitelly not, especially if it is printed (it can delaminate if printing density is not 100%).
Long time ago I used high pressure 160mm PVC pipe as pier (wall thickness was 8mm), and it was sor of OK, but there was significant vibration (swinging) side-to-side.

In your case, I would use 3x or 6x reinforcement like this - even stronger if possible, fixed both on mount extender and your base.. even woodden corners might be OK.
