· Print fail using Cura but OK with another slicer.
It looks like the print on the right developed a problem in the hot end. Those upper layers appear to be severely under-extruded. The left "wing" on the right model didn't really print at all.
It can never hurt to do some PM on the printer. Once a month I pull my hot end apart and clean it out, trim the bowden back, check and clean all the trolley wheels and check the X-beam alignment. The machines run for hour upon hour and do need some attention now and then.

Looking at the model.. it looks like it starts to fail more and more as retraction would take place..
Possibly check your retraction settings (speed/distance)

Greg, I will give it a clean out but the one on the left was printed just before the one on the right. The material is PLA. BTW, nice bike.
Dustin, thank you for your suggestions. I will have a look at them and see how they compare to the Prusa settings.
