UM3 prints well with AA0.4, not so with AA0.8... ?
And followed the suggestion to disable compensation of wall overlaps. There was a considerable improvement. I also set Z seam alignment to "shortest".
I could then lower the temperature from 233C, which was the best looking before this change, all the way down to to 215C which is more in line with the factory suggestions for Innofil. That seems to be the sweet spot. I could also crank up the speed to 70mm/s which makes the switch to 0.8mm really worthwile.
In other words, I was really on the wrong track, There was no issue with materials, mechanics or print cores, the problem was with Cura (4.5) and obscure settings...
The prints now have a surface finish good enough for my use.
Thanks tohazedav and iccherry for their work in solving their similar issues.
I am really happy to leave this behind me...

Strap in for the first Cura release of 2024! This 5.7 beta release brings new material profiles as well as cloud printing for Method series printers, and introduces a powerful new way of sharing print settings using printer-agnostic project files! Also, if you want to download the cute dinosaur card holder featured below, it was specially designed for this release and can be found on Thingiverse!
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
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.
