Thanks for the file. I think the main problem there is that your extruder/hot end simply can't shift enough hot plastic to be able to print a nice 2.45 mm wide line using a 0.4mm nozzle. To get rid of the straight lines you need to turn off combing completely. Hope this helps.
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.

I tried setting the Infill Line Multiplier to a value higher than 1 and it did print multiple lines for the infill but, unfortunately, it appears to produce duplicate lines and a lot of weird travel moves so I can't recommend it. Sorry.
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 ?

At the risk of sounding sarcastic (which I am really being serious), I just went with the Larger bore nozzles (0.6, 0.8. etc.) to get thicker infills.
However, I have not gotten a good print without some sort of shell (PVA or otherwise), even with the combing off. But I am getting nice patterns in see through objects that I like.

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.

How about this... take an existing gyroid stl (there's a bunch on thingiverse) and using a 3d modelling app intersect the hemisphere shape so you end up with a hemisphere gyroid model which can then be printed as normal walls/infill?

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 ?
Sorry, I don't know.
Hi Eric, you're in the room, any suggestions?

For? Grapphics programs? His search would be as good as my search.
Printing options? Not really any more than offered already. As I said, I just started to use transparent skins or PVA, mostly transparent, to get a clean gyroid infill (Let the pattern show through). This has more to do with the limitations of how cura handles infills. I mean, seriously, not many weirdos (no offense to the OP) like me that wanna do this stuff.
Most salient points were made by you. But I still would investigate larger bore nozzles rather than more infill walls.

Do you have any photos of such prints to show

Non taken 🙂

While there is more color here than one nozzle, the effect remains consistent:

Hi @print_addict, could you please attach the project file so I can look at the settings and try slicing it. Thanks.
