Recently, while surfing youtube, I learned about a “new” printing technique that featured offset wall heights, allowing an interlocking effect with layers. this resulted in strengthening the print along the layer lines, improving shear strength. This idea was originally patented over 20 years ago, in 2016 it was made public domain. Recently, a new patent has become a roadblock to its implementation. This patent is practically identical to the original, and contains several errors in citation.

I hope in spreading the word, we can get this investigated, nullified, and readmitted as public domain.
