How to reduce infill ?

Got the part in the screen capture that I'd like to print, but the slicer (yeah it's SuperSlicer but much the same thing) keeps on having the two rectangular parts that stick up being completely filled. I've tried a number of different setting in the appropriate setting but they always seem to be 100% filled.
Any tips please?

Best Answer by Neophyl:

You will be hitting the solid infill threshold. I believe many of the defaults have it set to 70mm/2. Any area below that will be filled with solid infill. It’s the same for both programs.  I’m not at the computer at the minute but the new search function in 2.3 should let you find it. It in in Printer Settings though.

what are your infill settings?

I'm not an expert. Ma parlo anche italiano 😉

Thanks, Neophyl - I turned it down to 35 mm and it now does a regular infill in those volumes.
