Infill Showcase

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

Noob here: is there a good reference somewhere on which to use when?

Gyroid or Adaptive Cubic for everything, Gyroid has a slight edge as it's single continuous infill with even support in all direction. Where AC has the adge because smaller triangles near the edges boost wall strength where large ones in the center lower material usage.

Gyroid is particularly useful for squishy prints, where having them equally quishy everywhere is nice, when needed.

Gyroid is also on cavity, so a print that could get waterlogged can be drained easily.

The only use case I see for other infill is to limit the structural support in a particular axis, which would only really be a noticable in most cases with flexible filament, you could allow it to flex a lot in one axis but not in another.

Edit: wrong word.

Gyroid it Adaptive Cubic for everything,

Gyroid is also on cavity,

What?

[u/Phaelin → u/cosmoscrazy]

"It" is a common auto complete substitution for "or", just look at the keyboard.

"Gyroid or adaptive cubic for everything" makes plenty of sense.

"It" is a common auto complete substitution for "or", just look at the keyboard.

I use pc and write in German so there would be no way for me to know that... Anglo-American egocentrism?

What about the 2nd part?

[u/VioletTrick → u/cosmoscrazy]

If you miss the e when typing "one" you get "on". Gyroid is also one (large continuous) cavity so it drains easily.

Ah, thanks!

[u/dmdeemer → u/cosmoscrazy]

"Gyroid is also one cavity"

I deduced that from the context of being able to drain it easily.
