Infill Pattern

The infill pattern determines the internal structure of a 3D printed object. It affects the strength, weight, and print time by defining how the inside of the object is filled. Common patterns include grid, honeycomb, and gyroid, each offering different balances of strength and material usage.

Recommended values: Choose an infill pattern based on the intended use of the object. For strong, load-bearing parts, use denser patterns like honeycomb. For lightweight, non-structural parts, use sparser patterns like grid or gyroid.
