eSun ABS vs Ultimaker ABS top layer quality

[arj3090 2]

I made some prints using the Ultimaker ABS and the top surface looks acceptable. I tried some eSun ABS with the generic ABS profile and the top layer quality is far inferior. The best I can describe it is having deep lines making it much less smooth. I know I could use ironing, but that adds a lot to the cycle time.

 

Does anyone have a good profile for eSUN ABS or suggestions on how to flatten down the top layer lines without ironing?

Attached is a picture of the eSUN with ABS profile vs the Ultimaker ABS. You can see the definite quality difference

You should optimise the "flow" of the eSun, since Ultimaker provides optimised profiles. Either you use Orca Slicer instead of Cura, which provides tool for said calibration, or you follow Elli's guide https://ellis3dp.com/Print-Tuning-Guide/articles/extrusion_multiplier.html or you simply use the Ultimaker ABS profile for eSun as well.
