As with most any thin piece of rigid plastic, bending can happen. The thinner the piece, the tighter the bend before it stresses. So it should come as no surprise that a bar or axle will bend more than, say, a 2x10 brick. But plastic also has memory. In other words, make that face for too long and it will stick.
I got a wild imaginative hair with the Ninjago spinner arena that I
found a couple of weeks ago. What if I turned a couple of the 45° Technic axle connectors on this big floppy thing? It continued around until I had a nice organic 3D shape. I think in Geometry terms it's roughly a saddle. Euclidean space, baby!
