Forcing continuous perimeters? (no replies)

$

I'm trying to print some part with thin walls, just two extrusion widths wide. By carefully modeling the object I get good results in most of the walls, but still in some areas the perimeters break up and I get discontinuities. Not only it looks not so good, but it also affects the structural integrity of the part (it needs to be strong).

Is there any trick I could use to force the perimeters to remain continuous? I'm attaching a screen capture to show what the problem is, also getting rid of the infill in between very close perimeters would be good. The idea is that the perimeters would be laid down with no interruptions to give a very good print quality. I've tried the Detect Thin Walls setting and it helps, but I still get some infills were they are not really necessary.

You can see the problem in the picture, the two perimeters are collapsed into single perimeter fragments on the curve.
