    This will probably sound bizarre, but what's your most brittle material? Can I print a very thin mesh or coil from it? I need it about as fragile as a christmas tree glass ball.

    Thanks!

    Definitely the GLASS media! Just how thin are you thinking about?

    Frosted Ultra Detail (FUD) being acrylic is quite fragile and can go down to 0.3mm wall thickness, even 0.5mm wall thickness is quite easy to poke a hole through with a wet frayed cocktail stick (I was experimenting cleaning & removing print lines from a model)
