The classic method is when the pattern on the walls is achieved by shifting the printhead perpendicular to the wall.
|
||||
It gives a predictable result, but decreases the strength entire shells and open the pores inside the walls. It also increases the mechanical stress on the kinematics of the printer. The speed of general printing is slowing down.

### Extrusion
|

|

The fuzzy skin condition is obtained by changing the amount of extruded plastic as the print head moves linearly. There is no extra load on the kinematics, there is no decrease in the printing speed, the pores do not open, but the drawing turns out to be smoother by a factor of 2. It is suitable for creating "loose" walls to reduce internal stress into extruded plastic, or masking printing defects on the side walls - a matte effect.

|
||||
|

A polyhole is a technique used in FFF 3D printing to improve the accuracy of circular holes. Instead of modeling a perfect circle, the hole is represented as a polygon with a reduced number of flat sides. This simplification forces the slicer to treat each segment as a straight line, which prints more reliably. By carefully choosing the number of sides and ensuring the polygon sits on the outer boundary of the hole, you can produce openings that more closely match the intended diameter.

This way, the internal and external seams don't all align at the same point and between them across layers, distributing those weak points further away from the seam location, hence making the part stronger.
