What print speed to achieve shine / gloss finish with Black PLA?

Bambu Lab X1 Series Troubleshooting

Hi Guys - I found this thread Why the matt finish on the X1? - which explains the possibility as why some of my larger prints are coming out with a matte finish instead of the normal shiny look. Slowing down the print seems to be the solution based on the thread. I am printing with Black Overture PLA (default settings) and I am having more success with my prints, but they are matte. Has anyone experimented and achieved the normal shiny result?

Thanks

You can set the speed of the outside layer to about 40mm/s and it will be shiny again.

Also slow down the top layer speed if the model has substantial top surface.
