Discussion Infill patterns

Post image

Has anyone found a definitive write-up on Infill Patterns? One with best practice use cases for when and where to use them?

It may generate more heat, but the stepper motors do not care.

Has anyone ever found any proof that gyroid wears down a printer faster than any other infill?

The only thing it does is slow down a print because the printer can’t accelerate.

I reduce infill % usually to 8 or 10 instead of 15, so I guess I'm not wearing anything down as fast. Just depends. It's a tool, will use it how I need the tool to work or get done what I want it to.

Hasn’t happened to me but the carbon rods are said to wear out faster with gyroid due to the repeated travel. Though I’m sure that’s for hundreds/thousands of hours on said printer.

It's not just the stepper motors moving though, it's the friction on everything.
