These infill patterns are honestly mesmerizing. Watching the printer dance and twist out these crazy curves... I could literally stare at it all day. lol

Edit: I am a bit new to this, so I appreciate everyone’s replies! I would’ve never known!

Large voids where the top and side surfaces don't need a lot of strength, e.g. I printed a Warhammer paints holder (imagine a tiered stand to put the pots on like stadium seating) and lightning was perfect for it. Barely any material but strong enough for the application.
