My biggest 3d print so far

This week end I wanted to try to 3d print something big.
I made a few 3d prints so far, but only small items.
That's why I printed this lamp shade from thingiverse
It's a pretty popular design with thousands of makes.

The print took more than 22 hours to finish:

And here is the result:

The result is good but not perfect.
The lamp shade is not as white as I expected. I used some cold white PLA+ filament from Sunlu but the result is a bit grey-ish.
Some layers have a bit of layer shifting.
I'll try to do a bit of sanding to see if I can make it better.
Post-processing is really something I need to work on.

Next step for me will be to print a new material. I ordered and received some PETG, and I now need to find a good Cura profile for my printer.
