    your thermocouple is loose and moving a little during printing, changing the temp values and then the temp is being shot back up to compensate, meaning more heat and different characteristics for your ABS ?

    just an idea...

    Are those bulges at the same height on the two objects? They appear to be, which to me would seem that your z axis ball screw might be slightly out of adjustment??? Maybe check the platform screws around the bearings and loosen/re-tighten your ball screw coupler? The other thing to consider would be adjusting your flow rate. Since you are saying those are on solid layers I would think your flow rate is slightly too high.

        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
