Infill Pattern Showcase - Wall Mountable (no MMU)

Introduction

This showcase model was designed to visually demonstrate various 3D printing infill patterns. All infill patterns were created with a consistent 10% infill density. Perfect for educational use or workshop decoration. No MMU is needed.

Slicer Settings

Important! When you are opening the .3mf files in Prusa Slicer, make sure you open it as project! After that, you can change the printer or nozzle type, but transfer the other settings.

If you're using other slicer, all settings must be adjusted manually. Each individual hexagon requires its own infill pattern to be assigned, and the infill density must be set to 10%. 

Overall settings:

• Perimeters: 0 (no perimeters)
• Top Solid Layers: 0
• Bottom Solid Layers: 2
• Color change on the 3rd layer!

For the showcase model, set an inner brim instead of an outer one, with at least a 5mm width. Set the brim separation gap to 0. Do not remove the brim.

Assembly Instructions

Assembly is pretty straightforward. Insert the hexagon elements into the showcase. They should fit snugly straight out of the printer. If there's a risk of them falling out, apply glue underneath to secure them. 

You can easily puncture the brim at the mounting points with a nail or securely fasten it to the wall using screws.

Performance Comparison

The table below summarizes the differences between the various infill patterns in terms of time and weight ratios for the same infill volume. This data highlights how different patterns impact the efficiency of 3D printing in specific use cases. All values were measured without including the bottom layers.

Happy Printing! :)
