I couldn't find an answer anywhere so I thought Id ask the group.

What is the accepted infill and quality for purchased parts?

Obviously the lower the infill the less it costs to make parts, and the weaker the resulting pieces. I noticed when I was getting parts for my Prusa, there was a wide discrepancy in the quality (both surface finish and strength) of what I received. Is there a community consensus?

For most large parts 20% (0.2) fill is plenty.
For small critical parts like gears use 100%.
