3D prints still suffer from bad layer adhesion due to their 2.5D slicing and printing approach. I investigated if a novel slicing method that interleaves the layer could improve the strength of 3D prints.

    You don’t need any ugly trig. You can just use a magic number. The magic number in question is 0.8660254, which is the ratio between the width of the longways (point-to-point) to shortways (flat-to-flat) dimensions of a regular hexagon. If you need half of that, divide it by 2 afterwards.
