The orientation is the problem. A small post printed vertically will easily snap at a layer. And turning that project on its side was out of the question.
This project started as a proof of concept -- use a small nail to reinforce a post. The box of nails I have are labeld Wire Nails 1" x 17.

Even though this was a test project, I decided to make it practical by making the base fit a Command Strip. I made the base just thick enough that I could countersink the head of the
