Currently printing with 5% infill and grid pattern. Why are some of the outer triangles filled in with just one layer? Doesn’t seem to be doing anything.

Side topic; why are there any squares? They're not stiff because they skew, unlike triangles.
They're squares because OP selected rectilinear as infill type
There are squares because that is the slicer setting for infill, and it’s a cosmetic print. You’re right though, for something more stable I should’ve picked another infill pattern
Why use triangles instead of hexagons? They're the bestagons after all
