Multiple fill rates on same print.
Forgive me for being a newb and not knowing what key words to search for. I looked around but didn't find anything close to my answer.
Question 1: Is it possible to place the same part in the slicer multiple times and set a different fill rate for each part?
It would be slick to print multiple small parts at once and compare strength without re-slicing and printing multiple times.
Question 2: Is it possible to place a part in the slicer and change fill rate at certain heights?
It would be slick to be able to print the base of the part at 20% then when it gets to the top where the "tabs" are to print them more dense.
Just a few things I think would be nice....and there's probably someone out there way more smarter than me that can do it. Anyone? Thanks in advance.

RE:
Answer 1 Yes you can even have different infill types
Answer 2 Yes
in the image above you can see 4 different infill patterns
the hexagon section has two different densities
you can even have two different infills in one model
the second infill was done with a mesh modifier block
