        Totally doable, use a multicolor printer and print it like 3 layers thick - you’ll get thin flexible plastic sheets.

        Not actually practical, but totally doable lol

          Just do a midprint filament swap… Looking at getting into TPU at the moment, it might actually be a fun way to have my kid hand something short in. 3 layers of white, 0.12mm per layer, swap to black and print 3 layers more. I’d be concerned about stringing and delamination. But it’s pretty close to the heated bed, so mostly stringing. Fuckit we’re going to try!

        Easy enough to convert it to a pen plotter. You can 3d print the attachment first, then use it to have it move a pen around with G-code.

        Totally could

        You’d need two filament colors, and it would take a while just to do one page. If it’s a five pager then it could take hours. And then you’d have to turn in a big stack of plastic slabs. If you accidentally print a typo-

        … Yeah, point taken

        3d print it onto a plastic tablet like you’re sending it to Ea-nāṣir
