I have a model I want to print that has multiple layers of internal walls. They are useless and can’t be seen in the finished product, like a hollow cylinder inside another hollow cylinder.

I can’t seem to figure out how to prevent the slicer from including those useless parts. I’ve tried with Cura and PrusaSlicer. Is there another tool I should be using for this?

    It’s not the supports that are the problem, it’s the second wall inside. The red walls are the outer walls, and the green ones are the inner walls. There’s an outer wall on the inside of the inner walls. Basically the part with the tree support in the middle is considered outside by the slicer. Instead of having a second set of walls plus tree supports, there should just be infill.

      Sorry misunderstood the issue. Then as others have said, you’ll me need to edit the model. There likely an inside wall which needs to be removed and the leg closed.
