I’ve found 100% infill weaker than something like 60%, it won’t break per se, it would delaminate. Also number of walls is really important you can dial down infill to 20-25% if you have 6 walls or more.
I often print 3 walls and 10% infill and the prints are plenty strong. These are not high stress objects, but they can take plenty of stress without breaking.
I did print some curtain rod holders for some outdoor curtains. They had 3 walls and I think 25% infill. They do get a lot stress from the wind blowing, but they have held up very well in the 3 months they have been up.
What the AI slop did I just read? That wasn’t even edited.
The infill selections for comparison don’t make a lick of sense, and one of the tables doesn’t even have content that matches its introduction.
What a waste of time.
Edit: 57 upvotes? What the hell. Does nobody read the article?
Strength Characteristics Graphene can be 10 times stronger than steel at 5% density.
What does that have to do with 3d printing?This reads like just another slop article, repeating a bunch of platitudes in different ways. Sure it has some facts, but could have been way shorter and more concise, or the same length and much more informative.
