Different versions of Cura? CuraEngine does not stand still, they're always trying to improve it, although obviously that doesn't always end up improving every single slice.

People are way too obsessed with calibration cubes. The quality of your calibration cubes doesn't matter. The quality of the prints you produce does. And almost always they'll require different settings to the cubes. And to each other.

As someone who actually has OCD (diagnosed by my psychiatrist), I find it offensive when people say things like this. It's belittling a serious problem which affects not just my quality of life, but also has deleterious effects on my physical health.

In Cura, go to "Manage Profiles" and then "Import" that perfect gcode file. The base pofile will import along with all the changes listed in the "Settings" section that is at the end of any Cura gcode file.
The new profile will have the name of the Gcode file. Use that profile and generate a new gcode. See if that shows an improvement.
