Thin walls no slicing

I'm trying to print a gear I found on Thingiverse that has some very thin walls. There is no mention of this being a difficult issue to address, but I've tried every setting I can find in Cura but am unable to solve it:

    I did try the "Print thin walls". I'm using a 0.4mm nozzle, but this appears to be a slicing issue, not a printing one. I'm new to this - is there a way to tell the slicer what nozzle size I'm using?

    Yeah, if I drop the line width settings all the way down to 0.1mm I get this instead. Really not an ideal solution because the nozzle is still printing 4 separate walls and then filling in the gaps between them. I've seen this gear printed (bought them on eBay) but I don't understand how they're being done. My guess is that it's a redesigned gear.

    I think so too, the design is not very good and even you could print it in some way it will easily break.

        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.
