You can try the **Monotonic Ironing Order** , which might make the surface slightly better (new feature in Cura), but it looks pretty good. It do see some surface gouging at the bottom of the print, which is usually fixed by setting your **Z Hop**. For my 80mm/s profile, I’ve been using:

which is pretty much all the defaults. Since you have **Iron Only Highest Layer** checked, it means that only the very top layer of the entire print will be ironed. If you have flat surfaces below the top layer, they will not be ironed, so you might want to remove that checkmark. Here is an example with that box unchecked:

This was my very first ABS print, which didn’t turn out that bad.
