Layer stagger

With conformal infill: decides whether neighboring layers stack identically or shift, so each line connects to the next one at the opposite end. Shifting them bonds the layers better.

Not always visible. In Bambu Studio this setting only shows up when “Sparse infill pattern” is “Zig Zag” or “Cross Zag” or “Locked Zag” or “Rectilinear” or “Aligned Rectilinear” and “Conformal infill” is on. See Sparse infill pattern, Conformal infill.

How it works

“Off” repeats the same pattern on every layer: the lines land exactly on top of each other. “Alternate” keeps the line directions, but on the next layer it connects each line to its neighbor on the opposite side. That way the joints don't stack on top of each other and the layers lock together better.

When to change it

  • A long hook or clip that snapped along a layer: “Alternate”.
  • A bracket that will take knocks or pulls: “Alternate”.
  • Everything else: “Off”.

What Bambu Studio says

How neighboring layers are offset. Off stacks the same layout. Alternate keeps the same line directions but connects each line to the neighboring one on the opposite side, which improves interlayer bonding.
