Topic: Consistent, Accurate, Thin Walls?

I'm new to 3d printing and I have some ideas i want to pursue but I don't want to get into it if its not currently possible.  The parts I wish to print as designed will have a curved wall that needs to be between .015" and .020" thick. Is this even possible? More accurately, is this possible with a machine as inexpensive as a Solidoodle 2nd generation?

That's be one wall thick. Definitely possible, though ABS isn't very strong at that thickness.

That is about .32MM I can easily print a .32 wall cube/part but if you want intricate walls details all at .32mm with no other perimeter thickness and I assume no infil then it will be weak and hard to get right
