[New Slicing Strategy - Shifting Layers for Higher Density!]

Thank you Johnse for your feedback. Yes you are totally right, such a slicing strategy would reduce the surface quality however it would probably lead to even denser parts which is the property I am more interested in within the scope of this project. In fact, I am trying to get the highest density possible with the least inter-line and inter-layer air gaps which promotes a higher optical transmission...

[New Slicing Strategy - Shifting Layers for Higher Density!]

Hello everyone,

I am kind of a new member to your forum. As I was discovering the different rooms and reading some interesting threads and interactions in here, I thought to my self why not write a post about something that I have been struggling with lately. It is not really a specific issue but rather a slicing strategy I would like to achieve but I still do not know exactly how. In short, as opposed to the classical identical slicing from one layer to the next, I would like to slightly shift the deposited lines from one layer to the next as explained in the attached file (case 2). For context, this fits into a project I am working on it lately which deals with achieving high-density 3D-prints at high temperatures. One can imagine that by slightly shifting the layers the interlayer gaps could be efficiently filled via this alternative strategy.

I am very excited to hear your opinions and pieces of advice 

Thank you so much ahead!!
