forced under extruding with slic3r?

is there a way to tell slic3r to under extrude material just for the infill?

there is the extrusion multipler for the overall flow of material.

the extrusion widths under print settings but i'm not sure what happens when you go smaller then the nozzle size of .4mm

there is a bridge flow ratio but that won't help...

so is there a multiplier just for infill that can be changed?

I'm looking to force just the infill to under extrude.

Yes. Under Advanced in Print settings, change the infill settings to a % you want.

ok i learned if you do change the setting for the nozzle to force under extrusion then the infill percentage is effected and has to be manually adjusted to compensate.

so if you set infill to 20% and then set the infill extrusion width to .25 then the infill resets itself to around 50% which makes sense drop by half and the infill tries to compensate... so you need to manually bump it down to around 7-9% to maintain the same infill as when you started.

so far it appears to be doing what i want in making the infill look terrible.
