infill challenge

Hi, I thought the honeycomb infill looks really cool when exposed. so I test printed a solid beam with honeycomb infill, in Slic3r 1.1.7, I set it not to ptint the top and bottom layer, please see attached pic, that looks pretty cool right?

Now ehat I want to do is, on the two ends of the beam, I want to have two solid pieces but I can't think of any way to have two different infills. Any suggestions?( I am trying not to have to glue on the ends, so it will have to be done in one print.)

You could instead design the part already with honeycombs in it and just print it like it is? Surely would be easier/faster to achieve.

Yeah, I already tried that, design the honeycomb in Blender, but the print out looks like crap.

Try to improve it There must be a way to draw it correctly?

The experimental branch of Slic3r supports modifiers that will let you use different settings for different portions of a part.
