In this episode, we discuss the proposal to use "virtual fibers" to strengthen FDM 3D printed parts that work by adding tiny holes to your model! We also go through whether you actually need to buy a slicer or if the free and open-source ones are now just as good - and finally, Tom twist's Stefan's brain with continuous belt 3D printers and why they can't use a vertical Z-axis.
