<p>Let's say, I want to print a box for putting game tokens in.</p>
<p>It is an empty cube, but the top layer is missing.</p>
<p>I do not need full walls. It could have holes in it resulting in a mesh structured wall, like a fence or a shopping cart.</p>
<p>What pattern should I use for the best object stability and print speed?
What programs can I use to design this? (I do not want to manually add 100 holes in my design).</p>

Rather than being able to make a continuous path around the box on each layer, keeping the print head at the desired speed the whole time, the printer will have to run around each connected component of the layer separately, slowing down, retracting, speeding up to travel, slowing down at the destination, unretracting, and speeding back up <em>each time</em>.</p>\n'}, {'answer_id': 15320, 'author': 'octopus8', 'author_id': 26170, 'author_profile': 'https://3dprinting.stackexchange.com/users/26170', 'pm_score': 1, 'selected': False, 'text': '<p>Definitely the speed will be worse after adding holes (or the quality otherwise, if object\'s skin is printed fast), though some filament savings may appear.</p>\n<p>But regarding &quot;object stability&quot;: because adding holes will normally cause the slower printing (because of &quot;skin structures&quot; around holes), then walls might get bit stronger or have better layer adhesion (comparing to line speed, the material, the printing temperature, etc.). Then stability might indeed improve, especially when walls are thin. Or may be reduced, depending on the pattern :) Also number of walls may count (n * nozzle diameter) or lack of skin overlap - then printing holes would support consistency of the structure. Thus the question of stability may be significant.
