Turner Hunt commented on Daniel Deng's blog post Variable Wall thickness
"yes, the video you reference states, "layers can be staggered to produce varaible wall thickness". To do this requires manual modification of the G-Code file. Create a g-code file of your part, the send to xfo and we can show you how."
