TweakatZ question

[yellowshark 153]

Hi I am not really familiar with this plug-in, does it support a change of infill %? Or do I need to buy Simply 3D :(

TweakAtZ does not support infill changes. However, SwapAtZ does.

OK thanks, I will have a look at that plug-in

Just had a look - is it possible to change the infill multiple times, i.e. at different heights during the print? I have a print which will either be hollow or use 20% infill. But at various places screws will be inserted. So behind the wall I need to put a block for the screw to bite into. I am limited on how big I can make the wall thickness so I am worried that unless I have a 100% infill the bite of the screw may not be good enough.

As far as I know there is only one change possible with the SwapAtZ (I didn't use the plugin so far). The person who knows best is certainly http://umforum.ultimaker.com/index.php?/user/35529-pm-dude/ as he has written the plugin.

In the model, you can make tiny perforations around you screw hole that are too small to print, but Cura will still add wall thickness around them. You could try experimenting with that.
