Not sure what is causing this.....

Hi everyone. Swapped my slicer to Orca Slicer after some issues with Super Slicer in regards to infill seemingly badly under-extruded. Was running some test prints after calibrations etc and almost done, but my Benchy seems a bit strange on one side with some strange artefacts on it. Subsequent prints replicate it as well, so there is something that I have yet to optimise on it. Any suggestions would be really appreciated

I don't want to steer you in the wrong direction but this looks like a hardware issue to me and not directly slicer related since it's only happening on one side. My first 3 guesses would be uneven cooling, belt issue (potentially some dirt/debris on the belt), or a partially clogged/misaligned nozzle which could cause over extrusion in one direction. What if you rotate the benchy 90 degrees and/or 180 degrees. See if it appears on the same physical side of the benchy or if it happens in the same direction relative to the printer (i.e. always appears toward the front or back of the printer) if it does change with the orientation of the benchy and not the printer then might be a slicer issue.
