I've seen copper sheet as thin as 010" and .005"  ( .127mm). DigiKey
sells it. They used to stock it but it looks like special order now
(just means there will be a delay in receiving it).

It's still FR-4 though so I'm not sure how flexible it is. Makes me
wish I still had my old TI laser printer. It had 2 output slots with a
lever to sent the paper out the top or out the back. The back slot was
limited bending of the paper for haevy card stock. Bet I could have
sent this through it.

Other idea I had, I don't know where to find the palin stock but my
company does some boards on polyimide (flex boards). It's not much
different then heavy paper and bends pretty nicely. If you can find
the stuff plain, it might work.
