Here's the PLA test pieces I did a few weeks ago, assembled, showing a section of what the frame will look like (Momma Cat sniffing her approval)
Here's 9 of the nGen pieces made up, using the stronger infill pattern (Triangle). 15 to go! (24 for a complete frame)
Sadly, this part wouldn't fit in the Ultimaker 3 so that printer is off the wish list. It has a smaller build area than the 2+
A bit of BB-8 progress

Re: A bit of BB-8 progress
I thought "cubic" was stronger than "triangle" as an infill due it's 3D structure.
Do you have any further documentation/comparison between the two?

Re: A bit of BB-8 progress
None officially from Ultimaker/Cura
Honeycomb is supposed to be the best but Cura doesn't have it, Triangles is second best from the article someone posted on the UM forum
Grid is awful I know that much!
I'd also like to see the details on the new infill patterns added to the 2.4 beta

Re: A bit of BB-8 progress
Here's my source on Cubic infill, which was ported back in UM Cura after I made a post on this on this forum

Re: A bit of BB-8 progress
That's a good link
As good as Cura is, they do not document many of the items the program has. I really wish they would improve that.
