Is that a print cooling fan or just the fan on the extruder? PLA needs a well directed print cooling fan for good overhang performance. Overhangs also tend to improve with wider extrusion. I'd expect it also to be better with smaller layer heights (because there is more overlap of the outer extrusion per layer, and a smaller percentage hanging out in space), but this doesn't always seem to work out. I'm guessing there is a sweet-spot for layer-height on overhangs of different angles.

You have some interesting diagonal lines on your test-cube.
