	This study explores the impact of process parameters
and infill patterns, namely zig-zag and gyroid, on Fused Deposition Modelling
(FDM) 3D printing. The research investigates how variations in critical
parameters like nozzle temperature, print speed, and bed temperature, coupled
with different infill patterns, influence the mechanical performance of printed
specimens. Tensile and flexural tests were conducted to assess strength,
stiffness, and resilience. Results indicate that infill pattern selection
significantly affects the mechanical properties, with the zig-zag pattern
outperforming the gyroid pattern. The study also highlights the intricate
interplay between process parameters and mechanical characteristics,
identifying optimized combinations to enhance the overall performance of
3D-printed objects. This research contributes valuable insights into the
symbiotic relationship between process parameters, infill patterns, and
mechanical performance in FDM 3D printing.
