Question Doug Holverson's Centuri nose cones and nozzles

Greetings, 3D printing YORF Hivemind,

About a year ago, I downloaded these thingiverse files from our very own Doug Holverson:

I took the files to my local public library, which offered 3D printing for an incidental cost.

I got the following results, which I wasn't exactly happy with, but it was an experiment anyway.

Should the resulting product be this rough? Would I need to adjust the settings in the printer, or would I have to tweak the file to get a much smoother (i.e., useable) 3D printout? Please advise. Thanks!
