Which infill is the best?

[Produktdesigner 5]

I want to print a strong part with alarm diameter. Which infill is the strongest?

Hi,

 

there's a good overview on youtube, by CNC Kitchen:

and

As infill is just for compressing forces, I prefer Gyroid, as it shows strength from every direction.

But that's just my oppinion, I may be wrong.

Hello, what is Gyroid?

[Enigma_M4 121]

It's a wavy infill pattern which creates a full 3dimensional web-like structure, like bone.

In the second video there's some reference.

What kind of infill is the best depends on the object/part that needs the infill... so there is no standard answer for your question!

Maybe worth to look at: https://support.ultimaker.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012607079-Infill-settings

In addition the plugin Cura Settings Guide (actual v2.4) also have a good section about supported infills.
