I’m sure the filament dryer didn’t hurt but I don’t think that was what really made the difference.
I played with the print settings from thickening the outside layers, to slowing some print setting down to 1/3 the speed, to lowering the temp and even upping the fan. End result is I believe I finally have a print I’d be proud to sell. Is it perfect no but it’s pretty darn close I think. Also tweaked the design a little bit for these last prints. If you study the film prop and this replica you should start to see it as well if you haven’t already..
First these are all going into the bin. There was even a few more of these test prints along the way as well.

Took a lot of trial and error but this is the end result..
