print a mold for clay.
Can we perhaps expect 3d printed wallet backups from some new version of Armory? Might be worth looking at the materials properties of the various 3D printing substrates out there, see whether there's something with compelling durability.
It certainly would be easy to print a sheet of plastic with your paper-backup info either etched in it or extruding. That would be fairly durable, as well. Especially if you did it with the nylon filament which is like 16,000 PSI and stretches over 100% before breaking.
Plastics (and certainly the type you're indicating) sounds good for many a key storage purpose. Perhaps also, you could design it in two hinged pieces, the hinge mechanism all on the inside? With a lock built in the same way, you'd feel more comfortable that it's true purpose wouldn't be apparent if someone you trust was snooping through your stuff. Or at least that no-one could stumble on it and jot the key down.
Plastics have another advantage; they can be buried in a hole in the ground without worrying about degradation (or metal detectors, in the case of using metal as an alternative that is). Metal would surely still be more durable in a fire, whatever the latest printing substrates can achieve. Roll on carbon fibre printers!

Nice logo. Only two monitors? Heh, I sorta had an image of you looking at five different OSes at once on different screens.
I'm tempted to buy a Maker's Bot 3D printer some day. They sound like they work pretty well.

Three monitors actually. I paid extra to get the 1920x1200 resolution versions, too
Also, you don't get a photo of me looking at all the VMs, but this screenshot should captures something very similar
That's why I have 32 GB of RAM
Ah, so there was a third monitor that wasn't visible. That makes more sense.
Yeah, six OSes running at once is pretty impressive. I'm going to splurge on a RAM upgrade one of these days, but I'm going for a 16 GB chip, which will bump me up to 20 GB total. It ought to be plenty for my purposes.

I used Blender. It's a bit overkill, but I like how I can eventually start scripting my design process, and always wanted to learn more 3D design stuff in the future, so I guess I'm one step closer now.
I bought the "MBot Cube 2" printer. It is basically a cheap Chinese version of the Replicator2, and I've had quite a few problems getting it working. But once I got the new printer head that handles PLA, it's been pretty smooth. It actually prints beautifully once you get it working!

Very nice What CAD software and printer do you use?
Solidworks here.
