Ugly top cover area for objects (3 replies)

Another print, another question... (sorry for that).
When printing round objects, the upper cover areay is almost always incomplete. I am not talking about the top layer here (that was another question that I posted). For example, for the famous "Cuddling Owls" object, the head portion looks weird. The top of the big owl is not "watertight". Could this be an issue with inadequate cooling? We have mounted a 40mm fan but maybe it is not aligned properly.
Here is the print (sorry for the blurry image).

Or maybe it is an issue with the slicing settings. I used Slic3r and have chosen 2 perimeters and concentric top fill pattern.


Thanks,
Stefan
