"Shell" Lines - How to fix/smooth?

[Wikilla 0]

Anyway to fix these shell lines so they don't show up on the print? Enabling Ironing helps but they still seem to show. Would adding a top surface skin layer help? Or is there something else that can be done? Any help is appreciated!

Im guessing you mean the lines on the top surface?
It appears the top surface of the model isnt 100% flat.. which is why it has steps in it..
Would need to fix the model to address that.

Or it's sitting on the bed at a slight angle which is angling the top surface.  There is an angle involved somewhere so you are getting "steps" because there are 4 layers where you expecting 1.  If you take a close look from the side you will see what is going on.

These are the same model but the one on the left is rotated by 1° so it isn't flush on the bed.  The skirt cutting under the left model is the clue that one edge is up.

You're both 100% right. That particular piece is at a slight angle. I am rotating it a different way for the reprint, as I'm too lazy to want to go back and fix that, lol.
