Surface Finishing Help

Looking for suggestions to improve the surface finish of my parts. As you can see, with the exception of the seam (which I have since figured out) the side surfaces are pretty clean, but getting a slightly less textured tops surface seems to elude me. Any suggestions?

Your prints looks "skinny" (i.e.: perimeter/loops lines are not touching)... symptom of under-extruding.
See my manual part on machine calibration... (download link on signature of this message)

Thanks Davide! After reading through that guide, I've determined its a firmware setting, I'll be pulling off the feed drivers an re measuring actual feed as I must have gotten off somewhere in that process when I setup the machine.

after calibration ,
if printer nozzle head is 0.35mm , try this setting as below
extrude width and infill extrude width = 0.35mm (same as nozzle dimention)
layer height = 0.28mm ( 80% of nozzle dimention)
