Prusa PC Blend filament - Need help?
I would like to print items with prusa PC blend.
I have a Prusa mk3s + where everything is standard as when I bought it.
Can I print with Prusa PC Blend as it is, or are there parts that I should change to a better quality?

You're good to go. Just remember to put glue stick on your steel sheet or you'll experience the "pleasures" of too much adhesion. Use an enclosure and/or draft shield. In my hands PC blend has been prone to warping so I print pretty much everything with a brim.

Statt zu klagen, dass wir nicht alles haben, was wir wollen, sollten wir lieber dankbar sein, dass wir nicht alles bekommen, was wir verdienen.

I've printed several, mostly small, items with the Prusa PC Blend.
I would echo the admonition to use a draft shield if you do not have an enclosure, and also the admonition to use a release agent.
The photos below show a remixed fan shroud printed with PC Blend with the draft shield, and after the shield was removed.
For this part I used the Kores glue stick as a release agent, but on subsequent prints I used Layerneer with good results.
The project below was before I got the enclosure for the I3.

What is the name of the function you use in PrusaSlider that I need to enable?
What do you get on Headbed when you use a PC, and the profile you use in PrusaSLicer is the free to download (your print looks very nice, would like to achieve the same result)?

I'm assuming you mean draft shield.
It's a checkbox under Print Settings and then under Skirt and Brim.
The profile is the default for Prusament PC Blend. I've had VERY few cases with this printer where there is an actual need to vary from defaults.
Nozzle temperature is 275. Bed temperature is 110C on the first layer and 115 on other layers.
