    I guess the limitation is the wall thickness of 0.1mm. You could try to set the feature "Print thin walls" but be aware that with a 0.4 nozzle you will not have good results. 

     

    Additionally you will run in problems when printing a single object, because the layer will not have enough time to cool down, so print more than one, set fan speed to max. and use a smaller nozzle.

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
