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.

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
