Thin vertical wall - infill showing?

Okay, so this is a new one. Using he most up to date firmware and Slicr settings and the vertical walls seem very thin.

If you look carefully at the photo you see where the infill is showing through...

Printing at 60% speed with a 6 layer raft and a good brim to avoid warping (4th try on this and have it down now).
Any thoughts appreciated.

Hi!
Try to use more than 3 or 4 perimeter and reduce the infill overlap to 20%

Cubic may sometimes show on sloping edges. Try changing it to the grid for this print.

Thanks for both replies! I'll give it a try. I am trying to print quite tall thin objects. learning a lot about warping. 😀

These are the parts i'm trying to print at the moment.
As you can see, i've split one part into two sections and i've tried printing them in the upright orientation with a 10 mm brim and a 6 layer raft. Glue is also used to help adhesion with the bed.

On watching the print of the brim and the raft, it looks perfect, it's not until much later on that the trouble starts.

Pretty sure everything you see there is down to warping and print orientation.

Looking at the second picture, you can see that warping occurs (look at the bottom left edge). It actually occurs on both ends of the part.
This eventually causes the nozzle to start striking the print much later in the print and bad layers etc.

Perhaps printing these parts flat on a raft with supports is the way forward, all as one part?
