There are a number of settings that you can tune to help with your situation.
Have you taken a look at any of the following settings?
- Skin Edge Support Layers, are extra infill but only in the top most layers to help with a low infill percentage
- Bridge Skin Support Threshold, will help with determining which parts of your model is printed as a bridge, improving your tuning options because than you can define Bridge Skin Speed
- Infill Layer Thickness, really depends on your printjob, but will help you skip a number of layers where infill needs to be printed, it just prints thicker infill.
- Infill Travel Optimization, will help with finding the most efficient way to print infill
- Lightning Infill Pattern, one of the fastest infill patterns around, I use it often to speed up my printjob.
- Shortest Zseam Alignment, This option simply minimises the length of travel moves leading towards the seam, making no effort to place it anywhere in particular. Because the travel path is shorter, you'll save a small measure of time on travel moves.
Is this the kind of information you are looking for?
