I have not played with it as an infill, so I cannot confirm or deny any strength or time claims for infill. But for first/last patterns, it takes longer but seems stronger than rectilinear in comparison.

Had a print fail halfway through and got this pleasant reminder:

The pattern you get depends on the object shape. It may not always be a star shape as you can see in your first object. It will vary. Try printing a wedge shape or circle to see some of the differences.

Thanks for the tip! Will try in the AM and post some results!

Leaves a very appealing top/bottom layer pattern as you can see in the first object, and the infill looks pretty good on the second object. The infill is at 30% I believe, and would look pretty good using transparent filament.
