How to increase the resolution of the part?
I just purchased a PowerSpec 3D Pro Printer. I am not sure how to get the resolution better and get the ABS to be more consistent when being extruded. I have included pictures to show the bottom and a couple of sides with "sloppy" corners. Is this something that can be adjusted or is it the quality of the printer?
Thanks....

It sounds like a calibration issue to be honest, but resolution can depend on a few things imo, from travel speed to temperature. I have a friend that does most of my printing for me with a FDM printer, and he does it so well you really have to look close to see the print lines.

What calibration should I be looking at?

Calibration, is kind of like putting a new ink cartridge in a printer, the printer wants to make a test sheet. It's for you to look better at errors, layer height, etc. For the resolution and sloppy corners like I mentioned travel speed and temp. can be factors in that.

Seems like a backlash issue with inconsistent xy positionning.

I have noticed the table I have the printer on shakes, so I am going to move to a table with less movement. Is it better to go with a thicker layer and higher temperature for ABS? I will try to slow the travel speed done and increase the temperature.
Printer will print perfect...
