I think I might've boiled down the problem to temperature and speed.
Yesterday, I tried using a brand new roll of Grey ESUN PLA+ to print the katana blade, and the problem occurred even with that. I noticed that when I reduced the temperature, the effects of the problem seemed to go down.
I think the problem is being caused by the hot nozzle melting and warping the already extruded plastic, causing a consistent wave pattern. by reducing the temperature of the nozzle and reducing the time it lingers on one spot, I may be able to eliminate this problem.
I might be wrong, as this has never happened before, and it might be a thermistor problem (I had to replace my hotend with the Creality Spider Pro) or another weird issue.
if anyone has any other ideas on what the issue is, please feel free to share.

I think I've crossed out both of these issues though, as I tried some other prints later yesterday with the dried filaments, and they came out perfectly.
This print took about 1 and a half hours, but didn't show any of the waves shown by the white filament, so i think the E-Steps issue you ran into isn't my problem. Your other issue with the mainboard fan is not apparent either, as while doing another print, i lifted up my printer and saw the fan was operating properly. there is also nothing under my printer blocking airflow to the fan.
