Slic3r settings for closing up open area's around screw and nut holes,

I know I have seen this topic before but for the life of me I can't find it. Everything I put into the search bar comes up with nil. I'm looking for the setting in slic3r to close up the area around screw holes, pretty much any open area needs a tighter fit between it the open area and everything around it.
Thank you for your help.

It's the K number in the customer gcode ... find that, look up the M command associated with it. I think 😕 .

M900 K30; Filament gcode ???

That's linear advance. It is NOT what you want for this.

I thought that's exactly what it's for ... extrusion not being in sync with position. But I don't use an MMU, nor mind the rather small occasional skipped areas in my prints, so I use the defaults and have not delved deeply into the subject of M900.

But yeah - things like retraction settings can also apply to skipped areas.

I read it as the OP is looking for a setting to tune inner and outer tolerances of parts.

Oops - just reread the post. Is it perhaps the infill overlap percentage you are looking for? (the distance between fill and perimeters)
