Low strength is for your standard models and trinkets.
There are hundreds of different tests people have run on these patterns, so I encourage you to do some testing on your own. Keep in mind that I’m not an expert, so all of these come from both personal testing and findings from other people’s testing online. Each of the categories has their own use, and some of the infill patterns might even have multiple categories. Infill Pattern Categoriesįor this article, I’m going to classify each infill pattern under one of five categories. Once you know what your print is going to be used for, you should have a general idea of the pattern and percentage that you want to use. Without infill, printing the top layers would be very difficult, as the plastic would sag over the empty parts of the print.īesides the actual printing process, infill will affect the strength or feel of the final product. Infill provides the 3D print with internal support as the printer builds each layer. If you’re new to the world of 3D printing, you may be wondering what infill is for. Once you know what you’re print is going to be, you need to know what pattern is right for your purpose. Whether the pattern’s purpose is strength, flexibility, or simply to look good, infill is a very important part of your print. Once I realized however that every pattern has a purpose, it was much easier to know which pattern to use. When I saw the dozens of possible infill patterns available throughout several slicers, I got very confused.
