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.
True, although the idea is to print significantly less of it because of how sturdy it is.
Oh interesting, so is the idea you could use, say, 10% gyroid instead of 20% adaptive cubic?
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
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
