Dangerously Close
Close up view of the wing of a Dragon model, 3D printing on an Ultimaker 2. The membranes stretched across the wings are thin enough to be semi-transparent; little as 0.45mm at the edge. You can even see the edges of the individual mesh triangles, which I left in the model to give a more scaly effect. The model is supported using customized struts added in Meshmixer, which break away cleanly after the print. (Model: 'Dragon' by TheRat - www.thingiverse.com/thing:4096)
