Why it matters: Infill affects compressive strength, top surface quality, and material use. Overbuilding wastes filament without always improving durability. Pattern power: Patterns like gyroid, cubic ...

When working with an FDM 3D printer your first prints are likely trinkets where strength is less relevant than surface quality. Later on when attempting more structural prints, the settings become ...

When you’re spitting out G-Code for a 3D print, you can pick all kinds of infill settings. You can choose the pattern, and the percentage… but the vast majority of slicers all have one thing in common ...
