I get infill where I dont want it even with infill blocker in place. Please help- it's a lithopane.

I'm trying to print a lithopane, and my settings call for 0% infill- but about halfway up the cylinder, it puts 100% infill.  I tried using a blocker, but I get the same result.  Is there any reason why?  Then it goes 100% all the way to the top.  Any ideas?  I assume it's to make sure that the solid top looks good, should I try it in Cura with tree supports instead? Right below the image it is empty- then it's 100% infill all the way up.

Your model is broken.  See the warning triangle next to it.  That is there for a reason.  Fix your model and the issue will go away.  When you hover over the triangle it should pop up a window telling you how many and what type of errors.

If you are on windows you can also click the triangle to try and repair it through netfabb, although that doesn't always work.  Depends on what is broken and how badly.

Fix the model using some other software such as mesh mixer or if it’s your model learn how to make and generate valid mesh geometry. 

You could also zip up the original model if you downloaded it from somewhere and post it with a request for help and see if some one can fix it for you but it’s far better to learn how to do this for yourself as there are a LOT of broken models out there.
