Infill Patterns and Density
There are several considerations when choosing an inll 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: Inll pattern settings.
Slic3r oers several inll patterns, four regular, and three more exotic
avours. The numbers given in brackets below each gure 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 aect time and material.
