More perimeters = more strength in FDM printing. For rigid plastics like PLA that also increases stiffness. Several years ago, Benelli was designing a new auto loading shotgun and they had a problem with part of the bolt breaking. They made it thicker serveral times, they tried different

CANopen have a special sync message which is used for synchronization. You probably want cyclic synchronization communication, messages are sent anywhere within communication period and start to be used then synchronization message is sent. Synchronization message may have som jitter, it does
