Thanks carl.
Well I tried printing it as well running on Rep Firmware and host and I got similar results..
It looks like it is extruding too much plastic. Rather than clean lines nested together, the plastic looks like it's been squished around due to overcrowding of the threads and possibly the nozzle dragging in it. I don't know the setting in XYZware, but you can try reducing the Extrusion Multiplier in S3D.
That finish on the top layer was my main complaint on the slicer in xyzware. I posted a thread with a calibration cube with a similar finish. Now that I have gone to Repetier host that uses Slic3r I get lines instead of paste. I think it is just a matter of poor control.
XYZware and its slicer assume a fixed filament diameter and anyone who has been printing a while knows there is now such thing a filament can vary by as much as .1 from roll to roll. So if you assume a diameter of 1.75 but you actually have 1.8876 or similar then you will over extrude. Like wise if you actually have 1.6334 then you will obviously under extrude. Real slicing software allows you to input your actual measured diameter so it can take that into account when setting the feedrate per layer.

I am not convinced that this machine can do .1 layers. I have seen .1 layers and quality and those samples you printed are far from them to be honest. I honestly have yet to try myself but I am poring my resources into do a full E3D conversion as well as mainboard swap on mine so it can do .1 and maybe even .05.

Just for consistency, how thick is that object and what layer height did you use?
