Framing an area of the print object that you want solid, no infil.

I have the Prusa XL. And I have an object that I would like to select or frame an area that I want to be solid, no infil. I need the added strength in this area. The tool they have for creating support enforcers would work great if they were made to frame an area for no infil.

RE: Framing an area of the print object that you want solid, no infil.

Try adding a modifier for the area you wish to be stronger, and instead of specifying 100% infill, specify lots of top layers and bottom layers. 

the reason for this is, that 100% infill often causes extrusion issues, where as top and bottom layers are less likely to do so... 

If I ever want a solid model, I use top and bottom layers

As you might have noticed 100% infill is barred in most infill patterns, simply because it is so problematic

regards  Joan
p.s. I say that top and bottom layers are less likely to cause problems...  because, IF you are having extrusion issues (Leading to filament pickup on the nozzle) which I believe you reported in a different thread,  you may be suffering from over extrusion (Or warped print) 
PETG tends to stick to the nozzle when the nozzle is ploughing through existing filament and after a while the filament forms a big enough blob to fall off / wipe off the nozzle, causing issues and possibly layer shifts or models being knocked off the build plate... (this is particularly common with 100%infill, or solid sections of models... )
reducing the flow rate, if you notice a nozzle ploughing through the previous layer, or reducing the extrusion multiplier a little during slicing can reduce the chances  of this happening. 

I try to make safe suggestions,You should understand the context and ensure you are happy that they are safe before attempting to apply my suggestions, what you do, is YOUR responsibility. Location Halifax UK

I added a modifier and it worked perfectly. I am still getting familiar with the tools available to me. 

 

Thank you.
