Smooth surface

Prusament PLA Blend Viva La Bronze
MK4 Input Shaper 0,15 structural, 2 perimeters, 15% infill. Scaled the spiral chain 10 links to 160%. The length is then around 155mm.
I want the flat surface part more evenly. Perhaps more perimeters?
Any advice is welcomed!

Print it with PVB, or ABD and vapor smooth it.

I've had fairly good luck doing vapor smoothing.
This is an earring pendant I did a couple of years ago. I know it's not crystal clear but surfaces are smooth and shiny.

RE: Smooth surface
Thx. I think PLA should do the job if the settings are correct

RE: Smooth surface
Thx. I’m familiar with this technique. I just have the feeling it that there should be more to get out of the print settings to make it smoother .
