Ever since we started printing with Input Shaper, it has been hard to maintain the nice sheen so many filaments are made for.  

The MK4 SPEED profile goes up to 170 mm/s leading to matte or mixed finishes.  The STRUCTURAL profile only goes up to 45 mm/s leading to a better finish, but sometimes this isn't enough.

Run this Shine Calibration tower, pick your speed, and set your External Perimeters and Top Solid Infill to this speed (I have yet to see a filament that needs you to reduce the speed on Solid Infill for the bottom layer).  You can keep the SPEED profile the same for every other feature type and still get a good shine.

This model was fully built in PrusaSlicer so feel free to edit the 3MF to suit your needs.
