Brick Layer 3D printing refers to a technique where some walls are offset by half a layer, creating a staggered effect. While there's an active patent on thi...
Great statistical work. It’s a small sample size but the data is pretty neat.
TL;DW: Small sample size aside, it looks like the brick layers could be marginally stronger in some ways, but it can be weaker if you don’t also increase the extrusion multiplier since offsetting a column of circles down by half a row in a grid of touching circles will make the circles not touch (hopefully that’s an intuitive explanation of the need to increase the extrusion multiplier).
