Variable Settings - Not along Z

Hello folks,

Straight to the point... I'm printing a fairly large model that has screw towers. I want to print the model at 5% infill but this leaves the skinny screw towers with no infill and therefore, very week.

How can i maintain the 5% for the whole model but have say 50% for the screw towers

Cheers

Reducing the Solid Infill Threshold Area should help. It will convert the screw towers, if they have area smaller than this value, into using solid infill for strengthening.
