Bambu PLA Metal Printing Issues

I used the Bambu Lab PLA Metal in Iridium Gold in the AMS on a P1S. It came out like this

I used the filament preset for PLA Metal in the slicer and ran with with 0.4 nozzle, 0.2 layer height, 3 walls, 15% support cubic infill. No speed or temperature changes. What do I need to change to make this look good?

Can you post a picture of how you have the parts orientated in the slicer? Looks like overhang issues to me.

@JonRaymond Here you go

Thanks, I understand how it’s printed now. Try lowering the layer height and slowing it down. Both should help with overhangs printing better.

@JonRaymond How do I slow it down? What setting(s) do I need to adjust to do that? I’m still learning the software for the most part.

Bambu has a good wiki article addressing this.

That looks something like the bronze filament. Bronze has this statement near the bottom of the page,
• For better print results, please reduce the Max volumetric speed from 21 mm³/s to 15 mm³/s when printing PLA Basic Silver/Gold/Bronze

No idea if it will help, just tossing it out there.

@lasermike It doesn’t say that for the PLA metal but I am willing to try it
