[ADDED] Honeycomb infill

[run78]

If you add honeycomb in the infill pattern option I buy your software.
For me It is a very important option to build strong pieces.

I backup this request

Yep, another vote here, it makes for much greater internal strength versus grid, etc. at similar infill percentage.

I've been asking for this since the first release! The software is great, but maybe less focus on getting it working on new printers and taking care of some of us who have been with you since the beginning.

Not sure if this is correct but I have heard that the HoneyComb fill is patented.

Do the other slicers (besides MakerWare) have HoneyComb? If so, you can disregard what I heard.

i have heard this too. slic3r has it but i dont know if that matters since its a non profit free piece of software.

You cannot patent something "invented" by the Mother Nature.

May be the bees or the trees should claim the ownership of the honeycomb geometry.

Cheers.

Regardless of the outcome or reasons, an acknowledgement (yey, nay or we hear you!) would be appreciated

+1 This would help be a bunch.

Tell that to the guy that invented/patented the "Pet Rock". "He made a million dollars!"
