... reading the specs of Kapton-insulated flexible heaters ( [www.omega.com] ) i found that this kind of heaters should be printable or made with etching.
Maybe a good thing for heating the bed/housing or as tube around the extruder?

That would work for some thermoplastics (like PCL). Unfortunately it's just under polyethylene's requirements. The specs do however say that the device is "Rated up to 392

HDPE melts at 130C but you need to extrude it around 240C, similarly ABS melts around 110C but is extruded around 230C so these would only be useful for PCL and PLA at best.
