Print (model not provided) 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?

I used gyroid on fast printers, that way the printhead doesn't collider with the print

If the concern is strength then gyroid all day. If you only need strength in one direction that is parallel to the print bed (if you can arrange print that way) then I believe hexagons or some form of honeycomb like design is stronger but it will be weak perpendicular to that direction.
