3D prints still suffer from bad layer adhesion due to their 2.5D slicing and printing approach. I investigated if a novel slicing method that interleaves the layer could improve the strength of 3D prints.

      Just an offhand idea. If you look at the print in the thumbnail, you can see that while this clever brick-interleaving has eliminated the straight lines along the xy plane, the Z axis still has straight lines. Eliminating that so you have a “brick-interleaving” in all axis seems the most optimal.

        Well you need either that or the video’s idea. I think yours could be easier to implement and it requires fewer z-movements (and no reordering, can’t remember if the video did that)

        Oh, I see what you’re getting at, interesting. I hope these land in a slicer sometime, it would be interesting to try out.
