Infill Options?

Is it possible to print specific parts at different infill percentages?

Away from my printer right now and asking that question just hit me like a brick, so I'll ask if this idea is possible...

If I design much like I'm going to use 2 colors (2 STL files), is it possible to set one process at 100% infill and a 2nd at 20% infill to accommodate this?

Yes, go to Tools-->Dual Extrusion Wizard then fill out the dual extrusion wizard. After that, ungroup the processes (click on one of the Processes, then go to Edit-->Ungroup).

Then click one of the processes. When you do this, the model that process is attached to will highlight. Then click Edit Process Settings on the process that is for the part that you want at 100% infill and change that setting.

If the processes were still grouped, changing the infill to 100% would change to 100% for both parts, so remember to ungroup them.
