[ALREADY ADDED] Layer cross directions

Hi

Request to have layer cross directions change per layer or multiple layers to make parts stronger.

one layer ------------------------------
two layer ||||||||||||||||||
third layer \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
forth layer ///////////////////////////

this directional change would make parts stronger.

This is similar to what MIT is doing in there research on the conch shell. The shell changes patterns at different layers.

Thanks

Re: Layer cross directions

you can do it already
- set infill to rectilinear type
- in "angles" put:

0
90
45
-45

and you will have what you asked
gcodestat integrates with Simplify3D and allow you to
Calculate print time accurately (acceleration, max speed, junction deviation all taken into consideration)
Embed M117 codes into G-Code
Upload your G-Code directly to Octoprint
open source and unlicence
