    Hi, I would like to know what are the difference between all the infill patterns...line, grid, hexagon(honeycomb),triangle, and circles? Is there one pattern better than others? Can you please give me some advice on choosing the patterns? Thank you.

    Most of the print strength comes from the perimeters. The infill patterns are mostly decorative.

    So should I increase the thickness of the perimeters, and just print with LINE infill, since it takes less time to print an object? Correct?

    Thank you.

    Essentially yes.
