No plugin. The plugins are simple code that do simple changes. Increasing infill means adding more movements in a complicated pattern and a simple plugin can't do that.
You could slice the part both ways and try to splice the two gcode files together.
You could use other slicers. For this feature I recommend:
It's not free but it's not expensive either. It's new and has a great gui and allows you to do what you ask. That's it's main feature that they brag about in fact. Several people on this forum have bought it and say it works great. They often abbreviate to something like S3D so you might need to use google search to find the posts.
Another choice is to add very tiny cylindrical holes through (or anywhere in) your cad model. Cura gets confused and does "shell" around these cylinders even though they are too tiny to see or print. This works quite well and you can really mess around with fancy internal support. But it's quite a bit of work if you aren't an expert in your cad software and know at least 50 keyboard shortcuts and can model a chair in 2 minutes flat. But if you are one-with-cad and use it 8 hours per day and are an expert then this is probably your best choice.
Make sure "fix horrible A" and all the other "fix horrible" checkboxes are not checked if you go for this "holes through model" method.
We don't often release an alpha version of Ultimaker Cura... So what's different this time? This Alpha contains such a huge slicing engine overhaul that we really need your help!
We wish to celebrate and honor the innovators that push forward the field, technology and world. We opted to not present it as a competition or ranked list. Every innovator has earned his spot on that list in their own way. We also look at the 3D printing industry as a whole and not limit the list to those only using Ultimaker.
