Variable Infill

Hi all,

how do I print a variable infill density?

Example: I want to print something that has got a hole in it so I can mount it on a wall with a screw. A few milimeters around that hole I would like to have an infill density of 100% to make sure the screw holds well, the rest of the object may have 30% infill density.

Any clue?

RE: Variable Infill

right click on model in prusa slicer 3d editor view, 

choose modifier, choose cylinder, 
resize and place cylinder where you want to change the model 

select layers and perimeters on the modofier, and change as desired

re slice and you should be good to go!
