Brick Layer 3D printing refers to a technique where some walls are offset by half a layer, creating a staggered effect. While there's an active patent on this method, it might not be valid—Stratasys had a similar patent in the past, but it has since expired. TenTech has developed a Python script that modifies g-code generated by PrusaSlicer or OrcaSlicer to achieve this effect.
