You might try adding a small fillet or chamfer to the inside corners of the model. 3D printers don't like making sharp, pointed turns; rounded edges (or wider angled turns) tend to print much better.

The rounded (fillet) corners will probably be less visible, and will prevent the start / stopping point where the problem is occurring
