Is this print ok?

Should I expect to get better than this? Excuse the upside down pics. They are right side up when you click on it.

it is a nice print, but yes. you can do better. I think you are underextruding just a little bit... or you are printing just a bit fast, as you can see gaps in the outer shells.

Thanks, there is no gap to see in person but the camera picks up stuff like that. I used gray to show any flaws.

I am pretty sure there are gaps between the perimeters. Maybe a picture taken more from above would convince me otherwise ;-)
Bit the vertical surface looks really smooth so that's great. Is it a small brim I see on the bottom? If not intended as a brim your first layer height should probably be raised.
