Hi,

I came up with this idea while printing with 0.15mm layers. I've noticed that objects aren't as strong as when printed with 0.30mm layers.
I know you can increase the width for infill, but this isn't as precise as using thin lines for infill.
Let focus on rectilinear pattern and 0.15mm layers.
Instead of extruding at 200% to achieve 0.3mm, we could have 2x 100% lines. This produces better quality prints and parts are stronger.
I would actually like to be able to create a pattern based on 1s and 0:
So we could have standard 1010101010....
Or define something like 110011001100...
Or 111000111000, or 111100111100, or whatever.
I'm guessing this would be rather easy to implement but would allow us to create stronger infill for fine resolution parts, so there's a real gain in here.

What do you think?

Thanks,
Marcin

Hello Marcin, sorry this is a bit off topic... What about xaar 128 head? Do you have any information about the inkjet 3d project?

Thanks.

@Marco-Mb -- I had to pause my project as I've realised it would cost a lot of money -- so started another business to get that money; in fact still working on the launch -- will be making materials for FDM and SLS printers. After that I'm back on track -- all I had time to do was try the print head, move it, eject droplets and try some chemicals. All looking good, but requires a lot of work.

I had thought I'd seen an issue for custom infills, but apparently not.
