WSF thickness and flexibility

Hi All,

I need a flexible sheet in my model and I found this video

What is the thickeness of this piece to make it this flexible?

Really nobody that knows how thickness relates to flexibility?

Desperately need it

For a wire, 0.8mm is very flexible - see; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNXz1D0R0Ls - with a sheet the same thickness will be stiffer, but you are able to go down to the minimum wall thickness of 0.7mm for WSF if the area is not too large.

Sort of, but it's complicated
Try this page and ignore all the stuff about model locos.......

The short answer is simply: you just can't do that under the current design rules.

To achieve that sort of flexibility you'd need a wall thickness in the range of 0.3-0.4mm, but Shapeways no longer permits models so thin because of production issues. (The rules have changed since that video was made.)
