Thin perimeters don't exist I bought some polyflex (flexible PLA) and wanted to print one of their reference parts from Thingiverse: [www.thingiverse.com] Slic3r seemed to do a fine job except for the really thin parts that are supposed to be the flexible connections between some of these pieces. You can clearly see the thin connection in the STL file, but when I look at the generated g-code in pronterface it's clear to see that there is nothing being printed in the area of the "thin connections" (and the first print backs this up). Any Slic3r settings to force it to print something in those areas? I rummaged around in the settings and advanced area, but I couldn't find anything whose description made it sound like it would fix this.
