Any tips on printing lego parts? (self.3dprinting)

I am using OrcaSlicer/BambuStudio with the P1P. Also, the hotend currently has hardened steel gears and a 0.8mm nozzle.

Am I forced to print the lego pieces slowly? Is there a setting or function that I can tweak to slow down my printer when it reaches the tiny circular geometry?

I've printed usable pieces on my Prusa Mini with the highest detail settings. Far from perfect, but definitely usable.

If you haven't heard of it before, LeoCAD is pretty cool for modelling with LEGO.

Yeah I haven't heard of it. Thanks for the info. Not sure if that would solve my problem though.
