Tool path change

Well, I noticed how a few of my parts failed because the layout of the filament was not compatible with the forces involved.  It seems the only control I have is the outer layer of the port.  Is there a way to change the layout direction so I can get the layout to be compatible with the forces?  For instance, if I create a gear, I don't need 1/2 of the teeth to be subjected to horizontal shear.  The only thing to prevent that is the two or three filament layers of the outer skin.  Is there a more configurable method to change the internal layout?

Simplest is to change the orientation of the print on the bed.  A gear, for example, will normally do best if laid flat on the print sheet.

Cheerio,
