Just how big is this model anyway? Approx LxWxH?
I’d wager that both or either of you could cheat this infill issue and still keep the weight down if you were to use a tighter infill of PLA Aero on the upper layers. That is, assuming you have an AMS to offload most of the logistics of all the filament swaps required to accomplish it. 
Edit: Come to think of it, I’m not sure that PLA Aero is AMS compatible. 
If that’s the case, maybe there exists some other low density filament that could serve the purpose?
If push came to shove you could maybe use a dissolvable filament like PVA to serve as the support.
Yeah, how about that?
At 100% scale for the print, it’s 36 inches long.

Wow, what a project! Must have taken ages to print.
FWIW, I notice that their print appears to have the same issue as yours, but far worse!
One of the reasons is their paint job. The tint went into the cracks, making them appear darker, and thereby effectively exaggerating the lines even more. If only you could paint it in camo… Space camo, of course.

I suspect that was printed at 0.2mm. I’m reprinting the first few pieces I did at 0.12 with the variable layer height down to 0.08mm.
For the smaller more details parts, I bought a 0.2mm nozzle which just arrived today.

I’m noticing something else that’s unusual about the way this printed. There are all these little “plates”, but they are all kinda blobby on their north end, but on the opposing side there’s none of that.
At least in what I typically see, there’s generally symmetry. Yet, not here. Why is there nothing showing like that on the bottom (south) side of it? Were they cut from a larger piece and then glued on, or did they print in place like that?

Would this not just be from the angle? Remember, this is not actually a top, it’s an angled part top and part side.
Maybe so. If it looks normal to you, then scratch what I said.
I’ll be very interested to see how your 0.2mm nozzle print comes out!
I just now noticed a new beta feature in orca slicer that may directly address your title concern about pillowing.
Have a look into the in-line help description for “Don’t filter out small internal bridges (beta)”:
@sorka95032 Any updates? Were you ever able to resolve your issue?
I’m getting the same issue on a new P1S with Bambu filament and ‘Fine’ default profiles. Switching to High Quality profiles fixes the issue, I believe because one of the print speed settings (currently doing some diagnosis prints to confirm which one).
Searching, it appears to be the same as this issue: [githubdotcom]/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/issues/636
Which was resolved with a new option in Orca Slicer, the setting that NeverDie highlighted above: [githubdotcom]/SoftFever/OrcaSlicer/releases/tag/nightly-builds
I don’t want to switch slicers just for this issue. Any idea when this fix might come to Bambu Studio?

hey there, had to log in to thank you. i totally despaired trying to print a bust as a xmas present but each time had horrible pillowing. changing the print profile from fine to high quality totally fixed it for me as well.
thanks!!
