Smooth surface

https://www.printables.com/model/666520-parameterized-cuban-chain/comments/1559914

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!

RE: Smooth surface

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

RE: Smooth surface

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. 

Hatchbox transparent ABS smoothed by hanging in a jar with acetone in the bottom.

Thx. I think PLA should do the job if the settings are correct

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 .
