What other kinds of flat things did you print?

Tom Stanton printed directly onto tissue paper to make extremely light airplanes.

A lot of low-profile split ergonomic keyboard cases (3d printed) are flat or nearly-flat halves that surround the PCB.

shims, plates (the hardware kind with holes), etc. It would be great for anything assembled together with plates and spacers (robots, stands, etc). The alternative would be cutting those shapes out of something, with lots of waste and dust.

What a fantastic video! Thanks!

3D printers are good at printing snowflakes for Christmas too ;-)
