Retraction vs ABS cooling?

I've tried to fix printing issue on small model that looks like that after printing

- there mess on the borders of the wall. I tried almost everything retraction related but nothing helped.

Then I noticed that walls are wobbling under extruder due to they are still soft and then I tried to turn on fan at 20% (7500 RPM max, one fan on the left from model on picture). Also I increased temperature by 5C to compensate cooling for layer adhesion. As you can see

left side of the walls are much better. There are many obvious issues including adhesion to raft of the bottom layer, but is it right way to do using fans for ABS (then I'm going to change to 2 fans) or is there some settings in Cura for these issues?

    Yes, it helps, even with greater models it's fine even with 80% fan speed. And less problems with models curving for me due to it's cooling fast instead of after many layers as one chunk.

        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
