Looks like layer shifting to me. Have you checked your belts/cheapskate/arm joints? Either that, or it's catching on part of another layer. Increase Z-hop and decrease speed might be a good first start, if you can avoid heatsoak with the slower speed.

I just tried with 1 mm of zhop and no luck it still looks terrible. My belts are also very tight but how do I check my arm joints and cheap skates?
