¶ infill types and their properties of sparse
¶ Concentric
Concentric circles are created inside the sparse pattern which gives a nice visual with transparent material. Also, the concentric infill would save the time spent on printing.
¶ Rectilinear
One of the basic infill patterns. The angle between the adjacent rectilinear is 90 degrees which increase the strength and reduce the material in the crossing.

¶ Grid
The simplest and the fastest types of infill. The grid is printed in the same layer. the accumulation of the material may cause print failure.
¶ Line
Similar to rectilinear infill, but the line is not parallel. This infill has the same advantage as rectilinear.

¶ Cube
Cubes with one corner facing down be created, providing numerous air spaces that may help the object float on water and insulate the heat.
¶ Triangles
Triangle infill is created as similar to a grid.
¶ Tri-hexagon
Hexagons and triangles are printed in the same layer, compare to grid infill, which reduces the crossing.
¶ Gyroid
It provides good support to all dimensions with no crossing part in the same layer. And the print speed is comparatively fast.

¶ Honeycomb
A combination of hexagons, which has good mechanical resistance and optimal paths without crossing, however, the consumption 25% higher than other infills.
¶ Aligned Rectilinear
This infill is formed by parallel lines. It saves time and materials, however, if the top layer has the same direction as the infill, the top surface may fall.
¶ Infill of the top surface and bottom surface
There are 5 options--Monotoic linear, Monotonic, Rectilinear, Aligned Rectilinear, and Concentric.
if the object has no holes, then the surface would be nice. otherwise, it may have redundant material.
Monotonic has uniform lines which get a more smooth surface compared to Rectilinear infill.
compare to Monotonic, Monotonic linear infill has no overlap with the perimeter, some seam may appear on the surface, but will not has redundant material in connected areas.
Aligned Rectilinear infill of the surface should be used with Aligned Recitlinear infill of sparse to get a good view with transparent material.
