   * Increase **"Other layers" Speed** by 133% or 166% to reduce overall print time, including Outer Wall, Inner Wall, Sparse Infill, Internal solid infill, Top surface, Gap infill
   * Alternatively, give Bambu's Sport Mode or Ludicrous Mode a try. This can be activated after the print has started in Bambu Handy, on the Device tab in Bambu Studio, or automatically set in your slicer by [[process_slicer-tips-and-tricks_setting-speed-multiplier-per-layer|Adjusting Print Speed at a Layer Height]]
-  * Increase **Layer Height**. For .4mm nozzles, you can increase the layer height to .24mm or .28mm. If you do increase the layer height, it's recommended to do a layer height adjustment at bridge layers to .20mm with 100% infill to increase the strength of the bridge.

 For many whistle designs, a clean and airtight bridge layer can improve whistle reliability.

 The bridge can be forced to better overlap with the wall, especially when printing at higher speeds, by increasing the infill/wall overlap setting. This can be changed to ''100%'' using ''Overlap > Infill/perimiters overlap'' in PrusaSlicer, or ''Infill/wall overlap'' in Bambu Studio and Orca Slicer.
 Note that there are still gaps between the individual bridge lines, but the ends of the bridge lines are well embedded in the outer wall.

 Here's the bridge layer with all the settings combined. This layer alone is airtight or close to it, reducing internal turbulence.
