Can the Prusa slicer do area restricted in-fills?

Hi Everyone!  I'm trying to achieve this:

Is there any way to have the Prusa slicer only use an in-fill percentage over a certain region of the STL model?  But then use a solid in-fill for the remainder of the part?  How would I go about doing this?

Best Answer by Diem:

Yes use modifiers. Right click on the part, add modifier, place it where required then right click on the modifier and one option is to define the local infill.

Cheerio,

Perfect, thanks Diem!  I wasn't aware of the ability to add modifiers like this.  By setting the STL to 20% in-fill and then adding two cylinder modifiers over the ends and bumping their infill level up to 100%, I get exactly what I was after.  😊

Here's a virtual beer for you 🍺.

Cheers!
