Just an unconventional use of your printer: Thin layers of some materials (e.g. PETG) are surprisingly flexible, such that you can fold them like paper. This allows for all kind of origami, with the advantage that your models are a little bit more robust and waterproof :)

Print instructions

I used Prusament PETG and printed a thin 0.2mm layer on the powder coated Prusa steel sheet. Results depend obviously on the first layer configurations of your printer. For me, it worked instantly fine. Results with PLA were not as flexible and tend to break while folding.
