Sometimes fewer walls are better
(media.kbin.run)
I think I found a counterexample to the common wisdom that more walls always create a stronger part.
The pictured S shape is 1.5mm thick, so printing with 2 walls leaves no room for infill. My testing wasn't very rigorous, but it seems that the hybrid structure of walls + rectilinear infill is 10-20% more rigid than walls alone. The infill adds strength by cris-crossing between adjacent layers.
I think it's fine to include a concentric top/bottom layer, but multiple identical layers weaken the part. I also tried 0 walls (infill only) and that was garbage.
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.
