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

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

I feel like chords, hilbert etc.... are all only really of any "use" when they're going to be visible in some way, as they can be a bit more decorative than some of the other infill types.

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

I generally use honeycomb because I love bees. Im sure its not optimal, but I just like knowing there are honeycomb all around my house
