What caused change in print quality?

This is my first print with my new Prusa Mini +  The first print went very well, but when I changed the diameter slightly and re-ran, it seems to print not as smoothly.  Not sure what to change?  Any idea what went wrong?  The first one went so well and I did NOT change any parameters in Prusa Slicer.  They were 15% infill, 15mm printer quality, NO supports, 1.75 PLA filament - for both prints

A couple of possibilities here; the most likely is that your model is not quite level on the bed - in Slicer select the part, click on the 'Place on face' icon (about half way down on the left) and then click on the bottom face to make it drop parallel to the bed.

If that doesn't work save your project as a .3mf file

Files > Save Project as

Zip the .3mf and post it here. It will contain both your part and your settings for us to diagnose.

Cheerio,

Diem - thanks!  I reprinted using the "place on face" command and it came out great.  I think I did not get it quite level the second time, but the third time was perfect.  

Thanks very much for your good advice!
