What could cause the strange part on the right? The whole surface should be the same, it's a 90° wall, so nothing that should look like this. Can't see anything strange in OrcaSlicer. BambuLab A1 Mini with Creality PLA+

Started the print again because i need this part multiple times anyway. It starts to "fail" at the same corner again.
Edit: Not exactly the same damage, but at the same height. Looking at the last print, it's not just that corner, it's all around at the same height.
If it’s a band one thing you can check is if the build plate is sufficiently torqued down. I spent ages chasing down a weird z issue, to the point where I converted my ender 3 z axis to being belt driven, and would still get really weird bands at certain heights. Turns out the bed was ever so slightly loose and at certain z heights would go into a tiny resonance frequency causing bands in the z axis. I’m not too familiar with the a1, but it’s a possibility that no matter what I researched I never saw mentioned
Checked the screws and tightend them up a bit.
Let me know if that helps! I hope so since it was a pain for me that nobody suggested. I got frustrated with that one enough that I got a p1s but still decided to tear down the entire enter and put it together to see if it fixed the issue (it did) so I could give it to my buddy
If prints are failing at a certain height, you might have a z axis issue. You can try cleaning, lubricating, and calibrating the z.
Same height? Check if the vertical axis has a bump/rough spot right there. I've found that single vertical point issues tend to mean I need to lubricate the rod again.
