Comment on Sometimes fewer walls are better

The 1 walled hook has the infill resisting and pulling back as you try to straighten the hook. When it fails, some of the connections between infill and walls break, causing the hook to lose it’s form or original rigidity permanently. In the case of 2 walled hook, this damage should be less severe, making it more durable.

Okay, but if my 2-wall hook bends into a straight line, then I don’t really care about the durability of that no-longer-hook-shaped object.

The 2 walled hook is closer to solid plastic too, which should give it the most bonded surface area per layer and make it stronger overall.

  The bond between layers or the walls is a lot weaker than just solid material.

    Sure, but stronger than just infill to walls.
