i dont think i need to explain something else you see it in the videos and hear it too,does it to many of my prints,sometimes supports too
im using lighting infill(15%) cause i need them at a certain weight and no need to waste filament,retraction is at 0.4mm(stock),any recommendation on how to fix this would be highly appreciated
The lightning infill ribs are curling up. Heat.
Reduce temp slightly, if fan isn’t at 100 put it at 100, reduce speed on infill, etc.

Lightning infill will always do this because it doesn’t connect to itself like other infills do…there is no pattern.
what patter would you recommend?
It sometimes depends on the model, but Gyroid is good as a Default.
There is nothing wrong with Lightning, I use it myself when I don’t want a model to be completely hollow.
try turning z hop on as well maybe
lightning is special in that all it does is make the shell printable - does not give you any structural support you should count on. And you trade that for filament/weight reduction. It’s more a special mode than selecting a pattern, and if youre using it theres no substitute
In general, I like gyroid, cross hatch, and cubic. All 3 provide good structure, and it just kinda depends on the model. cross hatch seems better at impossibly low infill %, but gyroid is a classic and really does well at or around 15%. If you can see the infill thru the model, cubic or the honeycombs can really look dazzling. It’s what laypeople expect 3d prints to look like on the inside which is neat to be able to show.
