			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I get some pretty functional prints at about 30% infill. A honeycomb sandwich structure is pretty efficient for a lot of applications. Just have to design carefully. <img src="https://www.soliforum.com/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p><p>I do 0.2mm prints all the time, and 0.4mm (infill every 2 layers) always ends up a bit manky for me (0.35mm nozzle on the E3D - best not to exceed nozzle diameter with layer height in any form), so I stick to infill every layer.</p>]]></content>
