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 thought so but I've only ever used it on taller TPU prints where I want them to basically be hollow so I've never seen it look quite like that!

fairly high infil percentage if I remember correctly. I did 20% first and it was very sparse
