Improving top layer quality

Hi all,

I've started the first test prints on my new MK3 kit
I've done the Z calibration and I think it's about right (lower gets too brittle, higher has too distant lines) but I think that I'm missing something to improve the quality of the print, especially the top layer that is really rough and with stringing

So far I tried a wide range of temperature, from 180 to 220 (I'm using PLA)

I initially used S3D but then I switched to Slic3r PE, slowing down the top layer print, it improved a little but still far from the top layers I get with a well calibrated Anycubic

Re: Improving top layer quality

Try reducing your extrusion multiplier to say 95percent
See if that helps.
