Printing MK3.5 LCD Cover

After 4 attempts, I cannot seem to get rid of these dimples or depressions that are showing up on the top and bottom of the LCD cover. Using the PETG roll provided with the MK3.5 kit, Prusament PETG profile, 240 first layer, 250 above, 0.2 layer height, 15% grid infill, 2 perimeters, then 3, then 4, slowed the print down to 95%, printed on the MK3S+ and XL, both with the same results, and the bottom corner is not great either. Was anyone able to print this successfully, or am I nit picking here?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

For those who are only interested in printing the cover and prefer to slice it themselves, I found printing with 3 perimeters, 0.1mm to 0.15mm layer height, 20% Grid infill works the best. Corners turned out great and the dimples are gone. For the detail I printed, I used the 0.25mm nozzle at 0.12mm layer height.

Nicely done. Wish I used my 0.25 nozzle for mine. But it came out alright, once it's on the printer I don't notice.
