Improving layer print quality

I'm printing some custom electronic cases on my MK3, everything is fine but wandering is there a way to improve print quality of individual layer.
This print in attachment was printer with 0.1mm layer height and case has 1.5mm walls.

1. Don't print with white PLA. White PLA prints the worst of all PLA colors, since it's more droopy. Use another color.

Best colors where the color itself won't show you any imperfections doe to shadowing from the light are:
Silver, Black.

That's why Prusa only ships silver now, silver hides most imperfections of prints.

2. print slower; half your perimeter speeds in the slicer. (small, external and normal perimeters)

3. print hotter; white and other lighter color PLAs like to be printed at up to 230 degrees. layer lines will disappear a bit.

He suggested me to degrade my Fw

Try slic3r prusa edition !☺️
