I have a model here, image.thumb.png.6fd794f12d37d93c6a18c3c010d1074c.png

 

And i'm wondering if there is any way to have the layer underneath the triangles to be infill rather than solid. So instead of like 10 layers, its 2 layers of filament, then 6 layers of infill, then cap it off with 2 layers of filament. So it uses less material to print and it prints quicker

    Hello @Electricfuse.  Load the model and set Cura up to slice.  Then use the "File /Save Project" command and post the 3mf file here.

    With top/bottom layers set to 2 and infill density at 10 % you should get what you want.  Sometimes the part geometry gets in the way.
