Print looks boxish

I want to start off by saying that Prusa Slicer is definitely my slicer of choice. The flexibility of the software is incredible and I enjoy getting to mess with all the settings.  I have ran into sum thing recently.   I don’t  know if i messed it up in the software or if its because of the large Slice.  Is there is a way to increase the number of points per mm? Possibly smoothen out circle so my prints doesn't look like a lot of little straight lines?  

Thanks for all the help !

also this is my first post sorry if I did not do it all correctly

Best Answer by Neophyl:

That looks like a limitation of the model. If the original model is made up like that then the slice will be like that. 
We would need to see the original model to confirm.

RE: Print looks boxish

As STL files are comprised of triangles, everything that's round in your model has to be approximated by triangles. The more triangles are being used, the smoother the curved surface will be. So as you have discovered, it's the resolution of your export to STL that makes all the difference.
