Trying to print a dessicant panel, but Prusa Slicer is printing solid walls
I found this on Printables, and one my Core One using Prusa Slicer it's printing the walls as solid. However, they should be a mesh so that they are permeable to air / moisture.
How do I make this so that it'll not solid infill the main walls? Is there something I can do in the slicer to fix that issue?

Best Answer by Chris Hill:
I have not downloaded the .3mf but I suspect those end panels are printed with a trick/technique that allows the infill to act as a mesh. With the part laid flat on the print sheet, define zero top and bottom layers and then adjust the infill (pattern, percentage) to create the mesh density that you want. This is often done with a modifier that allows the zero top and bottom layers to be restricted to part of the model, and the rest can be printed with normal settings. If you load the .3mf as a project you should see what the author has done to achieve this effect.
