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 just wish it didn’t take so much longer to print than adaptive cubic at the same infill percent.
Is adaptive cubic different than cubic?
cubic and gyroid seem to take the same time while having almost the same failure load

True, although the idea is to print significantly less of it because of how sturdy it is.
Same. Sometimes you want something fast. For things that don’t need to be sturdy at all (little display figures and stuff like that) I’ll use cubic or even lightning infil
You could also just use a lower infill percentage since it’s stronger
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
That’s all I use similar strength in every direction low material use and ease of print (it’s waves but no sharp corners so easy on the printer’s acceleration.
Yeah I do like that it doesn’t jerk the printer, just a little wiggle!
I like it, but sometimes I have to use something like concentric for thinner pieces. But in general, it is pretty neat.
I haven’t had a use case where something is too thin for gyroid yet. I can definitely see that being useful though!
I have to find something to print with that - I don’t usually do the slicing, but I’m totally going to use gyroid infill whenever I can. Probably as a feature - like someone else said, make coasters without the top or bottom layer, and use it decoratively. Awesome!
My phone case is gyroid without the bottom layer.
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.
Did you probably happen to compare it to 3d honeycomb? Quite pleased with that meself.
I haven’t tried that one yet. I don’t see that one in Cura - is that in prusa slicer?
It’s available in the Prusa Slicer

3d honeycomb is insanely slow and only strong in 1 direction as opposed to all directions like gyroid.

The only advantage 3d honeycomb has is speed.
3dh Is directional, has stress points, and has less fluid transitions between changing layers.
Unless you’re absolutely in a hurry, it’s easily the best infill.
That is literally its biggest disandadvantage lol.

3D neycomb is insanely slow. It takes like double or triple the time and is super stressful on the printer because of very high accelerations.
Pretty much its only use of honeycomb seems to be making the absolute strongest prints in compression strength. 3D honeycomb is slightly better, but it is essentially the master of none. Line and rectilinear have the best surface, cubic and gyroid have the best transverse strength. Triangle has as good of compression strength and transverse strength as honeycomb and better than 3D honeycomb while taking a fraction of the time to print.
Honeycomb is probably one of the worst “popular” infills.
Gyroid is my default infill. I like it.

Hehe yeah. So awesome! Its freaking therapy for my brain

until you start going fast then it sounds like it’s just gonna break half the damn timw
