i looks like you have 2 walls.(perimeters) but the slop area your slicer didn't increase the perimeter... so you ended up with something like this

Any one of those should work. I cannot be certain from the pics, but your vertical perimeters looks good. It only looks like a problem when you get perimeters too horizontally. I have been learning that the multiplier does not have to be set in stone with calibration when it comes to artistic prints.

Going to check that, and yes its only on the horizontally part of the print.

I would also make sure things move smoothly. Make sure your belts are nice and equal in tension. Does that happen generally on the same area of movement for all prints?

How many perimeters?

The extruder it calibrated, going to check flowrate then. Its moving smoothly, put some new grease on it today.

Give that lady a shirt otherwise it looks like calibration of extruder and flow rate. Also make sure things are moving smoothly. A little lube goes a long way.
