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 can hear the noise my printer makes in my head just looking at this picture
wooo wabble waddle waddle wooo

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
Yes, adaptive cubic varies the density of the cubic structure to decrease filament usage while supposedly maintaining the same strength as normal cubic. And, in my own experience, gyroid always takes longer to print than adaptive cubic – sometimes it only adds a few minutes, but I’ve seen it add nearly half of the print time again for infill-heavy prints.

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
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.
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
