Top layers rough and lack detail

The top of the print has a very and visible rough texture, but I would like this to be smoother - see photo. I printed at the optimal setting.

Any ideas on how to get a smoother finish?

Re: Top layers rough and lack detail

Top layers will always have a rougher finish. You can try the Ironing feature in Cura slicer to smooth them out a bit.

I tried Cura (with the profile settings from the Prusa downloads) but the prints came out warped, so Cura is not really an option unless that issue can be solved.

Re: Top layers rough and lack detail

did you try making the top layer thicker?

I have a Prusa,therefore I research.
