What happened here??

Looks like theres some other advice I'd try first but have you checked/calibrated the e-steps?

Esteps are easy to check, use a fine scale or calipers and a sharpie to mark the filament 100 & 110mm before it enters the hot end and then jog the extruder 100mm and measure how much it has actually extruded.

Tutorial here that covers pretty much every way to cal the steps but I suggest skipping from the set up down to the calculation and then to the "cowboy method" https://all3dp.com/2/extruder-calibration-calibrate-e-steps/

If that doesn't seem to be the culprit you could try keeping an eye on it when you have time to see if material keeps oozing a little when the nozzle reaches the end of a tool path or during a travel. If so you can try tinkering with coasting and retraction settings. If defects seem to occur more during travels there are settings to avoid traveling over printed areas or you can try enabling z-hops.

Mochi fits Mochi sits

Oo thats a good one! After the holiday season when boxes are bigger and bountiful I often have to play Schrödingers boxes and try to guess if its safe to move and break a box down or if there's a cat in it.

My go to prank when people are around involves my big orange floof I call Ra. I carried him all around in the palm of my hand when he was kitten and well that didn't really change once he got bigger other than using 2 hands sometimes. He basically sits his front legs in one hand and rear in the other like a pampered loaf. He's got enough floof to hide my hands though so anytime I'd hear someone get home or approaching from around a corner I'd hide behind the corner and stick him out just far enough so it looks like he's floating in mid air. My sister started calling him hover cat.
