How can this be improved?

Click for full-size version

This was with a MK3S and a Palette 2 Pro (not MMU) and is a print of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3478125

I'm pretty happy with it, but wonder if there's something I can do about what looks like under-extrusion (or perhaps position instability) for the bottom of the "screen" and the middle rows of the keyboard. I've been reading threads on alignment tweaks and it seems rather daunting. Observations and suggestions welcomed.

Re: How can this be improved?

my mmu will be busy for the next 12 hours, but I might just try printing that to see. what happens with default slic3r settings.

I have a Prusa,therefore I research.

I already figured out one big improvement - print it flat (the way it shows here) instead of on edge, which is how the STL originally loads. It will print in a quarter the time and should look better. We shall see.

Keyboard better, though I don't like the surface finish. Underextrusion? Screen is worse. (Ignore the stray black among the blue - I know what caused that.) What contributes to the initial roughness at the left of the blue part? The back of the screen (not shown, it's black) shows similar roughness in places.

Re: How can this be improved?

my print is almost done, but off hand I would say slicer setting need work OR just make the model bigger. I haven't messed around too much in the palette slicer.
