Github has more step by step process.
Headsup, once sliced, Bambu Studio will not show the BrickLayers, export the file as a gcode and import to Bambu Studio and you will see the BrickLayers

so people don’t have to go through youtube (giving free views, corp firewall, no reason to triangle information) cough
Does work, can confirm on the mini here - not really sure how much better this is TBH in my first testing. I need to do more on this during the week, possibly good for life sized RC kid car parts to keep durability & strength up.
yes yes I know it’s supposed to be the bee’s knee’s but I’m personally still on the fence here.

Apologies on the Youtube link, posted as its the only thing currently with a indepth explanation of what has been made opensource
Once Github has been updated to include all step by step guides, I’ll remove the youtube link
I don’t understand in the video why he is lamenting the lack of needed tags in the verbose g-code, if he knows what he needs just add them and submit a pull request.
You can see the strength test starting at 5:55.

Worth the effort?
Depends what you are printing, not needed all the time, but nice to have a profile for.
I want to see a proper comparison vs pla+ because that is the only real thing that will matter if not using petg/nylon/abs in the end.
Regular pla just doesn’t cut it anymore (also for the 1$ difference in price) making anything that kids will use I’ve found. Been moving away from regular stuff in the last couple of years, the plus stuff is leaps and bounds better so if this bricklaying stuff is worth a grain of salt - it should be pla+ vs petg, same settings, break 'em to see you know?
I have too much on my plate for testing this in my world, but it is interesting and anything new will get improved upon.
Maybe this will be helpful for printing clear lenses?
I use PLA+ also, I moved away from standard PLA a few years back also.
I think Bricklayers will come in handy for structure on walls that are 4 rows thick and the model is zero infill, instead of 4 walls that are layered side by side, the Bricklayer should in theory create a more solid wall as all the walls will be merged together on the second set of walls, rather standard side by side with say 15% overlap.
Im going to print a 30x30 cube with 4 walls standard zero infill and a 4 wall Bricklayer and see which is the strongest out the two.
I love PLA, and PLA+… however, I don’t like the fact that everything made with this filament is not archival. It will degrade in time, and depending on the environment, much sooner than I think we’d want…
This is just making temporal waste IMO
I’m exclusively using PETG-HF and it’s been a dream
Worth the effort for water tight prints. Not so much for strength.
