Hi,
After great printing results with HMF ABS ST, I decided to give a shot to ASA MP.
ASA MP has mat finish and feels more flexible than ABS ST.
Supports from ASA MP comes of wayyy easier than from ABS ST
The only problem are scars on top surface when printing with ASA MP (there are no scars with ABS ST)
I have tried to play with retraction and retraction speed but I don’t think that there is any difference in top’s surface quality.

Do you know how to eliminate these scars from top surface?
