New to 3D printing and generating toolpaths for a fixed structural design
I am a project student utilising a FDM printer that requires to generate a toolpath to print a structure made of a certain structural design that has to control the filament flow when moving to the next point of a printing.
I have an issue in programming a toolpath that requires:
1. Uniform micro-structure
2. Irregular shaped objects will give "stray" filament linings within the object
I have tried using most softwares with built in toolpaths which do not take into consideration of the resin spills when moving from one point to the other.
I'm wondering if there's any information online or any reference I can do some readings on!
Thank you for your help!

Update from my previous post
I'm actually working on developing Slic3r infill layers. Specifically from the source code (/Slic3r/xs/src/libslic3r) where the program alternates the infill every 2 layers.
1. Program has to repeatedly print 3 different infill layers until it reaches the last layer (instead of printing alternating angle layers)
2. Each layer consist of 3 different specific angles
3. Each angle is fixed - can be hard coded. (Does not need user input)
The end product will look like the image I have attached, with each color as a different layer.
