Sloppy top layer starting out of nowhere after good batches of same prints.

I think the first thing I'd try would be to dry the PLA out. 45°C (115°F) for 4 or 5 hours. If you don't have a low temp oven (one with a dehydrator is best cuz it'll have a fan) then you can just turn up the build plate to 45 and leave the roll on it overnight. It will develop some brittleness but it may also print a lot better.

In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
