currently, if you print using the default settings on the laptop next
to the bot, then on certain parts of the print where the walls are too
thin, the bot will not fill in the space between the two walls. This
can lead to weak prints since it's just printing the walls and not the
solid piece in between.

What setting should be changed in skeinforge to alter this?

Typically this is fixed by setting "extra shells" to 0.  It happens due to a bug in Skeinforge when using extra shells.  At some point it may decide that the void left over after making the extra shells is not worth filling.  If you set extra shells to 0, it will always do the fill.

Of course, that can lead to other issues...
