The python script is really easy to use. You need to run it in the cli and give it a path to a file and then it will convert it.
```bash
python3 bricklayers.py -extrusionMultiplier 1.2 test_1h21m_0.08mm_205C_PLA_ENDER3.gcode
python3 bricklayers.py test_1h21m_0.08mm_205C_PLA_ENDER3.gcode -extrusionMultiplier 1.2

### The prints
#### With planar infills
The first one I printed with an extrusionMultiplier of 1.6x.
```bash
python3 bricklayers.py -extrusionMultiplier 1.6 test_1h21m_0.08mm_205C_PLA_ENDER3.gcode
python3 bricklayers.py test_1h21m_0.08mm_205C_PLA_ENDER3.gcode -extrusionMultiplier 1.6

### Testing the strength
To test the strength I made a makeshift setup with a scale on a hook. Then I put the plastic test subject on the bar and pulled really hard until it broke. Then I could read the amount of kg needed to break it from the scale.

I made 3 prints. One normal using normal settings. One with brick using `Bricklayers.py` and one using `bricklayersNonPlanarInfill.py` using the commands above.

This is the end result. At the bottom are all the failed prints. At the top are the finished and tested prints. On the left there is the `bricklayers.py` print. The 2 in the middle have no modifications. The one on the right has the `bricklayersNonPlanarInfill.py` modification. The 2 on the left broke in the middle at the same point. Of the left one I got a measurement of 27,75kg. The one in the middle and right I didn't get the measurement because my phone couldn't record the screen of the scale. That's why im doing them again.
| Which Print | Force down needed to break it |
| :---------------------------- | ----------------------------- |
| No modifications | 24Kg |
| Planar infill bricks | 27,75Kg |
| Non planar infill with bricks | 31,4Kg |
I also noticed that the non planar infill broke at the same point twice. It could be because the print was getting unstable up there. Because the print failed a couple of times at that point when I was printing it without a solid platform.

So if it was more stable during printing it may have been even stronger.
## Creating something that can't be made subtractively
I wanted to make something simple because my University has been giving a lot of assignments to do during my internship. So I wanted to focus on that. I created a cube with a hole in it and in there another hole on another axis. That way it can't be made subtractively.
