He did. The layer adhesion seems ok, generally? I'm still pretty new to all this. I'll give your spiral mode tower a test soon, thanks. I'm currently printing a temperature tower, so I'll see how that turns out too.
I could definitely add more bridges and stagger them like you said. The design was made by using slot cutouts in Fusion360. I'd have to play around with it to figure out how to alter the design for cutouts to form an x pillar/bridge combo like you mentioned.
Thanks for the help.
so, in f360, the way I'd do it is to create a is create a pair of pillars- one in each direction- then create patterns. use the combine tool to join them into a single body. Then I'd create the top and bottom of the box. When using the combine tool, I would advise not selecting 'keep tools'. this will help keep you from bogging down the computer and you can always go back in your history. (its a problem in f360 whenever you start going crazy with patterns. or patterns of patterns...)
but it should be okay if you stagger the braces, I've had some idiotic design choices myself. (including a spirally-fin-shaped lamp shade that would have looked sWeEt. like a long sort of jet turbine. except it was 200mm tall and the fins were bobbing and weaving. ooops. sometimes it's only obvious in retrospect.)
