You can drop it down to 5% for future prints, usually that's all that is needed for infill. If you're worried about strength, infill actually doesn't contribute as much as outer layers.

Yeah I’ve changed my layer walls from the standard 2 to 4-6 depending on the piece, that way I can print the infill down even lower, I appreciate the pointers man

No problem, I'll check out the decals that guy sells when I'm ready, although I hope they're not too expensive lol
