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!

Actually, I was going to yesterday. But I will try to get to it this weekend. Am becoming a bit worried about warping though...
