Claim 4:
5. The method of claim 3, wherein the printhead further comprises a flow regulator operably coupled between the inner and outer flaps and the supply coupling, and wherein establishing the deposition path between the radial positions further comprises:
adjusting at least one of the inner and outer flaps to develop a deviation in a cross-sectional area of the deposition footprint at a first position along the deposition path relative to a second position along the deposition path; and
affecting a flow of the cementitious material to ensure a volume of the cementitious material of the deposition footprint has a constant magnitude along an entirety of the deposition path regardless of the cross-sectional area.
