-In slicer's "printer" tab, under advanced settings, set the "vibration limit" frequency to 15hz.  (This will force movement to slow down for these bone-shaking gap fills if 20mm/s isn't slow enough.)

If your model tapers at any point to a small surface area, such that a single layer would take <60s to print at the speed you've chosen, (let's say anything 3cm^2 or smaller than a nickel,) make sure to enable the following cooling settings in slicer's filament tab for good results:
