How to not infill the insides of a cylinder...

Ok, lets see if I can accurately describe this, I'm sure it's something simple but here we go...

In Fusion, I've created a 20mm tall cylinder.  From the top side, I holed out 5mm and the bottom side, I holed out 10mm.  So, there's a wall almost midway inside the cylinder.  This is a screw on cap so it's cosmetic.  PrusaSlicer uses that internal wall face as infill and it looks horrible. 

How can I have PrusaSlicer treat that internal cylinder "wall" as a typical face and not infill?  This of this as a tumbler cap that screws onto the tumbler with the bottom threads, and the top is "indented" a few mm's so liquid doesn't spill out...

Does this make sense?  Thanks in advance for your help!

Bonus question... I need supports for the "wall", how can I make it so it's not cemented onto the inside of the cylinder?  I'd post my 3mf files but it says I can't.  PrusaSlicer 2.7.2, MK4, PLA

You need to ZIP the .3mf file, then attach the Zip File
