I've been using gyroid infil almost exclusively since I first tried it.
I was using cubic before, which was fine, but gyroid seems much sturdier for the same % infil even if it does take a bit more print time.
Also it looks awesome.

same journey for me, cubic then gyroid.
I love the way it looks so much I made some coasters using gyroid infill with no top layers, and filled it with resin. such a cool pattern
I even made a vent cover with it since it lets air through still and looks cool
That's a cool idea for the coaster! I might do that if I ever get into pouring resin
Thanks! It's fun to mix both skills into one project.
Here is how they turned out
Those look great! What is the top left one?
Lightning infill from Cura
I thought so but I've only ever used it on taller TPU prints where I want them to basically be hollow so I've never seen it look quite like that!
fairly high infil percentage if I remember correctly. I did 20% first and it was very sparse
