Notice how the thin parts are only over the empty space?
You might want to try it at 30% to 40% and see if that helps.

My guess is that with nothing underneath it to push against there is not any "squish" to spread the filament wide so the edges touch.

I can confirm the previous poster as well. Unless you just want a rough quick print for sizing or something then you minimum top shell count should be two but really needs to be three. You bottom shell can get by on 2 but again three would give you better results.
