Dead mosquito proboscis used for high-resolution 3D printing nozzle — scientists boast of the extremely fine output from ‘necroprinting’

The proboscis is 100% finer than the best manmade tips, cheaper, and biodegradable.

A severed mosquito proboscis can be turned into an extremely fine nozzle for 3D printing, and this could help create replacement tissues and organs for transplants.

I’ve linked to a decent write-up on Tom’s Hardware, but New Scientist covered it last week too.
