>> Infill and Walls
Infill is the structure and shape of the material inside of a 3D print.
This can range from some simple lines to more complex geometric patterns, all of which have a different effect on the print’s strength, weight, print time, and flexibility. The infill density can be scaled to any percentage between 0 and 100. The higher the infill percentage, the sturdier the printed object is, however this is at the cost of a longer print time. A typical infill density is between 15- 20%.
The images below show a basic diagonal square structure at 0%, 20%, and 50%.

Walls refer to the outer wall of the print.
This dictates how many layers of material make up the outer edges of the print before the infill begins. Thicker layered walls create stronger prints. A good default wall line count is 2 - 5.
