Hi there,

I’m about to print a gift. Only problem: so much resin is needed that I want to find a way to ‘reduce the infill’ of the print.
Should I make a hole in the file or is there another solution ?

Attached is the file. @LeMonde3D_Paris @Djakhan or @Altzox can you help your beloved Community Manager with your magic?

Best,

Julie

Hey Julie,

I would suggest hollowing out the model to reduce the amount of resin. These two articles have pretty good how to’s on hollowing. Essentially you have to create a ‘shell’ and escape hole. Hope that helps!
