First impression is you're printing too hot and too fast for such a small object.

My guess is your using Cura so you might want to try reducing packing density ( less filament/ material)
Try a sample print of 0.5 mm thin wall and make sure the printed walls are indeed 0.5 mm

always worth a read is Calibration

Good luck

or just increase the filament diameter in cura,increase by 0.05 and when gaps start to appear,reduce the diameter by 0.01 until u get the best layer. installing a fan will greatly help,if u dont have a small fan,u could simply use usb fan (this will decrease the bulk weight at the extruder)
