Weird walls on Slic3r

I am trying to print a specific piece on my new mk2s with Slic3r but it comes out wrong. Like weird, weak and spongy (see how light goes through it). The issue seems to be on pieces with thin walls. It's not a problem with the printer because other pieces are fine. Even while printing several pieces at the same time, the others are fine and the thin wall pieces are not.

I also tried with Cura and seems to print fine. I still like slic3r's overall quality better so I'd like to know how to fix this.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Weird walls on Slic3r

detect thin wall option.

sometimes you have to turn it on and sometimes off and double check the preview on how slicer treats a thin area.

i've had situations where i turn it on and get a good result and have to turn it off to get a good result i always look at the layer preview in an area that is thin to see what will happen before i start the print.

you may also need to change perimeter settings or bump up extrusion width slightly.
