Yeah, but try printing out your kid's book report on one.
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!
Your now going to do this and report back right?
Actually, I was going to yesterday. But I will try to get to it this weekend. Am becoming a bit worried about warping though...

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