Stiffest infill? Gyroid or honeycomb?
Anyone out there testing both and could speak to which one is best at resisting twisting and bending forces?
RE: Stiffest infill? Gyroid or honeycomb?
I did some searches and found a couple of articles on strength of prints. From my notes, Gyroid provides strength in all directions. Cubic is the strongest. I wasn't looking at twisting thought. Another test showed that Honeycomb was stronger but gyroid and cubic were not tested. This is one of the links I have in my notes. You may have to do some tests.

Thanks!
Agreed; cubic for stiffness but it has a tiny directional bias. Gyroid for resilience. Honeycomb for bias free stiffness but it is hard on the printer and will cause it to vibrate as it prints, it can be worth slowing the print to reduce this.
Cheerio,

Add one piece of info, Just printed a part for a plane and due to pressure change, used Gyroid which will allow a pressure release hole to allow pressure compensation. Gyroid will also allow a 3D printed object to be filled with resin or other liquid if needed for a solid object.
