When printed on edge with supports, the print will come off the platform with a snap latch and a living, strong deforming hinge. This box printed as a single piece can be opened and closed hundreds of times before failing - a property simply not able to be prototyped with PLA.
This demonstrates elastic deformation (in the latch) and plastic deformation in the hinge.
