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.

I switched my petg to gyroid after having a hard time with cubic. It works nicely.

This is PETG also - it makes for super sturdy prints.

4 walls 30% gyro infill. Strong as a rock.

Increase the extrusion width on the infil as well- it’ll print the same amount of material, butb juice the strength phenomenally. 150% of default (which is usually at or near nozzle width,) for appearance parts. 200% for strength

That's a good tip - I haven't tried that yet. I'll give it a shot next time I need something sturdy

It also speeds up infill printing (because it takes fewer passes, I’ve found.)

I can’t take credit- that goes to cnc kitchen
