I found a stp file of a gyroid on grabcad and I was able to do a boolean operation on that model. Here is the result of an 11 hour print , with no supports so I have some repair work to do. It was printed in ABS so I will be using ABS slurry to repair it.

Do you have any photos of such prints to show Non taken 🙂

I'm using onshape and it's not possible to do a boolean operation on a mesh(stl) in onshape. I believe meshmixer can do this ? but I use linux and it doesn't run there. Is there any other way ?

I don't have this option as the printer is in a makerspce. We don't have a multinozzle machine either unfortunately. I think I'll have to find another way to generate the object.

It also raises the print time from 4 hours to 1 day 10 hours! The effect isn't limited to gyroid infill either. Is there any way to raise this with the Cura team ?

Thanks for taking the time to have a look at the file. Is there any way to get the infill to print thicker walls? Using multiple lines for instance. Thanks.

Here is the project file. Thanks. UM2E_base_small.3mf

I am trying to use the gyroid infill as my model by setting walls to zero etc. I have also changed the infill line width. I have attached a few pics one of what the print looks like in cura in layer mode, the failed print and the original model. I have tried printing this a couple of times and it has failed in the same way. I don't know if it's difficult to print or just an extrusion problem. The problems I have are that the change in infill line width isn't being followed, I set the part I want to be just Gyroid infill to 2.45mm infill line width in the per object settings and it seems to still be printing at .35mm. In places there is a perimeter wall though non is shown on the model. There are also two or three lines running through the print. I have tried this on an Ultimaker 2+ and extended Ultimaker 2+. Thanks.
