Different thickness in same part

Different thickness in same part
September 06, 2016 09:24AM
Hallo,
I drawn and developed a flying wing fully printed. See here

I'm looking for a solution to change the robustness in some part of the piece that I have to print.
Normally I use CuraEngine of Repetier and I can setting thickness of perimeter and thickness of top/bottom, but this is common for all part of the piece that I have to print. I'm looking for a slicer able to change these two parameters in different point of the part, For example, close to the motor I would like to have an infill of 20% and 2 perimeters, instead in other position 3% and just one perimeter to save weight.

Please let me know
Ciao
Carlo

If memory serves, :- Not sure about perimeters but in Slic3r you can partition the model and apply different infill's. I think you can use different z heights for the layers as well
You will have to search the web to find some info.
You have to be in slic3r, import the model, draw a box/volume over the area you want different and specify the appropriate parameters. Then slice and save the code.
It can't be done from a host program.
