Obviously the density and pattern are strictly related but seems values aren't tuned automatically according the combination of various patterns and if I change the infill density Cura chooses automatically only 2 the patterns:

  • always grid for lower densities <=25 % infill
  • always lines for higher densities >25 % infill

If I change the pattern to something different, I get a warning message

"This setting is normally calculated, but it currently has an absolute value set."

Each pattern has specific vantages that are useful according the situation, how should I properly configure the combination infill density and infill pattern to get optimal vantage without just wasting time for more intricated patterns?

E.g. Considering densities 20 %, 40 %, 60 % and triangle (best perpendicular resistance), cubic (best transverse resistance) and gyroid (best all around) pattern, I would get the specific vantage of each of these patterns at all densities or after a certain level, they haven't any sense?

    The infill density depends on the object you are slicing. E.g. if it has a large flat top you make sure to get enough support to prevent the "roof"/top surface from collapsing (in combination with enough top layers). If the object is a pyramid for instance, you don't need much infill. I don't really understand what you are trying to achieve with this question? – 0scar Jan 28 '22 at 10:19
  • @0scar "depends on the object" is implicit in the last part of question where I mention the resistance peculiarity of mentioned patterns, and the type of mechanical stress to which it is subjected during use – AndreaF Jan 28 '22 at 12:12
