🧱 1. WALL COUNT (MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR)
Wall count has the biggest impact on strength.
✔ Best for Maximum Strength
7–8 walls
- Highest strength
- Best strength/weight efficiency
- Use for mechanical, load-bearing, functional parts
✔ Best Balanced Choice
4–5 walls
- Excellent strength (~95–106 kg)
- Reasonable weight
- Ideal for everyday functional prints
✔ Lightweight / Cosmetic
2–3 walls
- Good for non-load parts
🏗 2. INFILL PERCENTAGE (SECONDARY FACTOR)
Infill percentage contributes to strength, but less than walls.
✔ Maximum Strength
60–80%
- Use only when part is highly stressed
- Heavy but strong
✔ Best Balanced Choice
30–40%
- Good rigidity
- Not too heavy
- Standard for most functional prints
✔ Most Efficient Strength/Weight
10–15%
- Surprisingly strong because walls carry most load
- Very light and cheap
- Great for non-critical parts
🌀 3. INFILL PATTERN (DIRECTIONAL STRENGTH & DISTRIBUTION)
✔ Best Overall / Balanced / Real-World Strength
GYROID
- Isotropic (equal strength in all directions)
- Strong, light, efficient
- Great for functional parts
✔ Maximum Strength (but slower to print)
3D Honeycomb (3D Hexagon)
- Strongest pattern
- Best for load-bearing parts
✔ Good Alternative Strong Pattern
Cubic / Adaptive Cubic
- Good internal 3D support
- Faster than 3D Honeycomb
✔ Fastest / Lightest
Lightning
- Good for models
- Not strong
🎯 THE PERFECT “ALL-PURPOSE STRONG” COMBINATION
For a part that needs to be strong, reliable, efficient, and not too heavy:
👉 4–5 walls
👉 30–40% infill
👉 Gyroid pattern
This combo gives excellent strength, low risk of failure, and optimal printing time.
🔥 THE STRONGEST POSSIBLE SETUP (For max durability)
👉 7–8 walls
👉 60–80% infill
👉 3D Honeycomb or Gyroid
This produces extremely strong parts, almost like solid plastic.
💨 FASTEST + LIGHTEST GOOD QUALITY SETUP
👉 2–3 walls
👉 10–15% infill
👉 Gyroid or Lightning
Strong enough for props, aesthetics, and general use.
