Trouble printing elevated platforms

So im trying to print platform that is held by 2 walls with 2 support structures to provide better support for the Long gap between the 2 walls and the edge cut off. But it keeps coming out like this

What do i do too prevent it from warping like this and make the platform perfectly smooth? i've been able to do it before but its very inconsistent. some days itll be smooth the other days itll be like this.

Nozzle temp is 215C and bed temp is 60C. Filament is Prusa PLA galaxy grey All regular slicer settings except for layer height being .32mm on a .4mm ruby nozzle. I have it set to print one extra perimeter for the wall since the walls tend to have an issue where the infill can be seen through the walls.

RE: Trouble printing elevated platforms

Test filament with a temp tower, then you see what temperature is the best for overhangs.

Search with google how to make a temp tower. https://blog.ktz.me/printing-temp-tower-to-get-better-3d-prints/

Every filament is different, so you need to test, for difficult printing.

 

Or you could ad manual support, tree support, search with google how to.

Or with your extra wall, make a v to the top to make more support.

Put model , if shorter then the z height, the length in z direction, and make support for the pillars.
