Prusa PC Blend - first tests and sagging

First print with the new Prusament PC blend on my standard i3 MK3S with the standard settings from Prusa Slicer 2.2 which is the wheel from the PC Blend pictured pulley has sagged nearly 1mm from one side of the pulley to the other. I've tried to picture this but I don't think its as noticable on the picture as it is in real life.

It was printed with 15% infill so I'm currently printing another verson with 50% infill becase my first guess was that it was a lack of support. However, I wanted to post and ask how people are getting on with this brand new fillament and if people are experiencing this sagging as well?

@charles-h13

What infil % have you tried? Are you using an enclosure?

I am using an enclosure.  I am currently printing at 40% infill but also printed at 20%

So at 50% infill (rectangular same as above) there is much less warping/sagging that is doen to 0.15mm now which I guess is acceptable, morale of the story, print at higher infil ratios?

Side note, I don't find I need the glue on the texture bed at all...
