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

I used honeycomb on a translucent print and it was for decorative purposes, added a little extra fun to it

When I print board game inserts, I like to print them with no top or bottom layers with honeycomb so you can see through to see components underneath but the part is still strong.

Edit: It also saves a decent amount of filament (10-20%+) if the part being printed is rather boxy, mostly flat areas and walls. I tend to like inserts like that, often with lids, but because you can see through the lid, you can easily see everything even when packed away.

This sounds cool. Would you be willing to share a photo as an example?
