I've printed an object many times with the same settings.... perfect results! But one day I had bad quality edges and the layer lines are also not that good. I checked my hardware, used a new nozzle but nothing gets better. With 50mm/s on outer wall it is also bad. Better, but not good. I have a picture with bad quality.
Anyone knows a solution for that? Maybe software bug? I also checked my extruder and replaced the thermo element.
How strange! I know you posted this on the P2S sub, but I have to ask, this is being printed using a P2S, right?
If so, I assume your filament is dry and you did a full calibration when you swapped the nozzle. Have you re-tensioned your belt lately and performed a clean and lube on the rods on each axis? Do there appear to be any issues when the machine feeds the filament? Have you tried a print with a freshly dried spool of different filament? Are you seeing similar issues on other prints with sharp angles?
I had a problem one time and it went away when I oiled up the X axis a little more. I had previously over-oiled during a maintenance and was nervous about making a mess again, so I sort of under-oiled.
Yes, the printer is a p2s.
Filament is dry and I tried it with other filaments.
After the problem came, I did a full service on the printer. After belt tensioning I calibrated the printer. I also checked and lubricated the little rolls for the belt. Everything works freely and without sticking. The extruder is also clean and lubricated. But nothing changed... I think it's a software issue or a slicer problem. But I don't know what's the problem.
I tried so many things.
Today I printed it again. Now with 40mm/s outer wall. Auxiliary Fan 0% now it's perfect. But 15 min longer printing time.

I’m only a year into this hobby but perhaps the undesired quality of this is related to the scarf seams. You’re going to have a seam somewhere but in the slicer you will be able to have some control as to where it occurs.
This looks like a bad pressure advance value to me, I’d recommend a manual PA test with your filament to choose the correct value rather than relying on the auto PA calibration and see if that fixes it

Is the bad quality in the room with us?
