How do I slow the printing on overhangs?

Hi! I'm trying to figure out how to slow the printing speed on overhangs to improve the quality. Any tips? Thanks!

Re: How do I slow the printing on overhangs?

You could use the bridging speed override combined with apply bridging to perimeters in order to have both bridges and overhanging perimeters print at a specified % of your outline speed.

These settings can be found in the "Other" and "Speeds" tabs.

Unfortunately that only partially works. See attached screen shot; I think the area is too small for it to be considered a bridge (on the top left area). The lower area is considered a bridge.

Any ideas?
