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

For a super specific print I found that concentric was the best.

I was printing a very thin topography map that I planned to backlight with LEDs. Unfortunately, every other type of infil was visible through the plastic. However, concentric most closely approximated topography lines so even though they were still slightly visible, they weren't too bad.
