Thanks for sharing the concept and the link - interesting read.

However, since the overall message (as regards strength) seems to be something like 'if you fine-tune your print settings to be unrealistically slow, you can mostly but not completely overcome the issue of lower strength due to layer adhesion' - I'm not sure it changes the argument, or makes much difference for most people, in most situations :)

I see it differently: when strength along all axes matters, you no longer need to take more time to carefully design and orient your print to overcome the strength limitations of FDM printing, or overbuild the part on the Z axis and waste filament. My design time is more important than printing time.

Most people are not printing non-stop or printing a functional part on a deadline, so I think it absolutely changes the argument when they need the extra strength.

Fair point :)
