Hi everyone,
does anybody know, if there is any option to activate this function in Bambu Studio?

Dear Bambu LAB,
is it possible to put this feature into your slicer?
I think this would be a awesome feature.

Awesome? Prusa barely thinks it is useful.
Bridging across infill it is hard to see how a single layer is going to be very solid.
I too would like to see the ability to print solid infill as needed by specifiying a start layer and an ending layer over a small range. I have some models that have a small diameter where they contact larger surfaces. They tend to fail unless I print solid infill yet they only take up about 3% of the total volume. So printing solid infill for 97% of the model where it’s not necessary wastes a lot of material.

You can achieve something similar (or even better?) by cutting the print into objects and modifying the infill for each
(German)
For a single planar cut, that would be feasible. But, for example, to insert a solid layer every 10mm into a cylinder with 100mm height, you’d have to cut, then split, cut one again, split, … and so on. But it isn’t finished there, as splitting sets all objects to Z=0.
I just installed and used PrusaSlicer to use that feature.
I would like to request this feature too. I have structural loads in a single direction and Aligned Rectilinear infill is very appropriate to carry those loads. However, I would like to tie the infill together every so often at a frequency of my choosing (e.g. 20mm apart)… very simple in PrusaSlicer, just enter the layer frequency.
Yes, this would be nice thanks for certain infills.
+1 to please add this feature. It seems like large parts could be made much stronger while keeping weight low with this feature. I thin k the key would be to be able to add a small chunk of solid layers (not just one), otherwise using an alternate infill would likely be the same/better.
Basically trying to make a more sparse infill, but with thicker walls and with a thin wall infill in between. Does this variable wall thickness type infill exist in another form?
Sure, cutting does work, but on one-at-a-time. I have a plate with 60 objects. That’s a lot of cutting. I’d like to just say for instance, print layers 120 through 140 as solid infill. Maybe there is already code to do that, I’ll have to research it. But, a setting that just does it would be really helpful.
One thing that might work for @schnuffi is modifiers. Just make a modifier over the part, change the infill to 100% and it will print solid infill in that modifier. To get solid at various heights, just clone that and drag it up as many times as necessary. But modifiers only work on one part and if you clone it, it’s still referencing that original part no matter where you drag it. You can copy them and then select a new part and paste it though.
For my needs, that’s a long process. I’d have to do that 60 times, which I can, but it’s going to take a long time. Maybe a solution would be if modifiers worked on multiple objects.
I would rather they add a feature to smooth layer time
