turn off infill cross hatching?

I have a need to print essentially a small transparent window.  To do so, I need to print the window pane in transparent filament, but without the crosshatching (which tends to make it translucent rather than transparent).  Is there a way to turn off cross hatching?  In the Advanced block of Print Settings, there is an entry to set the Fill angle, but even when set to 0 degrees, the next layer will be 90 degrees to the first layer -- crosshatrching!

RE:

I think the trick is to use 100% 'Aligned Rectilinear' infill, and then use the fill angle to choose the desired direction.  If you additionally set the number of top and bottom layers to zero, then you don't have to worry about making the top and bottom fill angle/pattern match the internal infill.

Change the infill type to rectilinear or aligned rectilinear. You can also search Prusaslicer for "print glass" and there are a number of recipes for printing with transparent filament — all of which left me profoundly underwhelmed.
