Perimeter Increase for Certain Elements
Attached is a screenshot for reference. Is there a way to increase the number of perimeters only around a certain element? In the picture I'd like the screw hole to have more material for the screw to grab, but I'd prefer the outer perimeter of model to stay the same. Thoughts?

You can do this with modifiers. Here's a quick example of a box modifier applied to a calicat print by right-clicking on the print and selecting Add modifier->Box, then right-clicking on the box and selecting Layers and Perimeters and setting 4 perimters.
Here is the result after slicing. Note that 4 perimeters are applied only to the one foot.

Thank you!
That worked out perfect! I was able to do exactly what I wanted. Also was able to use that same concept to increase the peg's infill. Thank you so much!
