I am printing extruder mounts (where the face that holds the motor is printed vertically and there are holes on both vertical and horizontal planes).
Can I get a different infill % just around the screw holes themselves and not on the entire layer? i am using a 20% infill on the entire model but would like to set the infill around each hole to 100% (to keep from crushing the print when I tighten the mount.

Re: Different infill around a hole
Do a separate drawing of just the area you want reinforced, export from your drawing program the nested separate files to .stl
Import both files to S3D.
Assign two different processes, one for each import.
Select 100% infill on the nested additional infill.
Error will pop up asking if you are aware that you will be printing
a single part with duplicate processes. Continue with build and export to printer.
Sometimes we oversized the insert to overlap into the surrounding substrate. Usually .04% works well with grommets and reliefs.
