Internal supports or selective infill without complete infill?
My Project works just fine with 0% infill however in the screenshot it shows the inside of the 0% fill object and you can see the two compartments which clearly needs some kind of support. I understand you can use supports however this only seems to work on the exterior of the object I even attempted to add part, add enforcers, add blockers with no luck.
I wonder if you can select particular parts to infill but not others?
I would really appreciate any suggestion which does not include infill.
Thank you for your time!

Repost the image with Link To Media File set ... otherwise all we get is that postage stamp.

Beyond not being able to see what you are doing, Plicer can't add supports inside a part. That's what infill is for.
Oh, if you don't want infill to support an internal floating in the air portion of the part, print it separately.

Thank you for the feedback, it seems that you are right going ahead and printing in multiple parts is the only real options, I guess I can glue them tougher once that are printed.
Thank you

If they are in contact internally - you are essentially asking for some weird (not in a bad way) bridging constraints. Slicers will treat the multiple shells oddly, and uniquely based on what I consider random factors. It's really impossible to predict how a shell will be handled.
I enjoy playing with oddball designs. If you can, zip then upload the stl and I'll have a look. I might see something the image doesn't reveal.

Hi Tim,
Actually that is a accurate description, what I am trying to do is wired haha
Oddball designs are the only ones that make sense when tinkering!
I appreciate the offer however I didn't have much luck with the ZIP but no worries I plan on taking your module based construction advice.
Thanks again
Carl
