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
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
It’s like a little dance for every layer
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.
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
There’s a type of cubic that starts out lower and increases in density as it reaches the top to support the top layers. That’s mainly the one I was thinking of. I can’t remember the name of it though. And lightning is suuuper fast but provides basically no strength
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!
It’s Prusa’s favourite for a reason. I like the look a lot so that combined with it being strong and non-crossing is why I use it.
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.
