Infill Patterns and Density
There are several considerations when choosing an infill pattern: object
strength, time and material, personal preference. It can be inferred that a
more complex pattern will require more moves, and hence take more time
and material.
Figure 2.22: Infill pattern settings.
Slic3r offers several infill patterns, four regular, and three more exotic
flavours. The numbers given in brackets below each figure are a rough
estimate of material used and time taken for a simple 20mm cube model

.
Note that this is only indicative, as model complexity and other factors
will affect time and material.
Figure 2.23: Infill pattern: Line (344.51mm / 5m:20s)
Figure 2.24: Infill pattern: Rectilinear (350.57mm / 5m:23s)
