Printing issues in firts layers

Hello everyone!
I experienced a weird issue on last print : some of the layers nearer to the bed were unevenly printed (fig 0020), while the rest was printed flawlessly (have a look at fig. 0021). What was strange is that only that side of the print had problems...
What do you think was the issue??

The object was sliced with Slic3r at 200um resolution, Prusa suggested settings, in PLA.

Ciao!

Were you printing with supports? I would guess not.

Overhangs greater than around 65 degrees will not be as smooth as other parts. Think about it; the printer is extruding plastic which is only supported by the air beneath it.

What you have is rather good.

Despite having red so much about good slicing it seems I just had to get in error to memorize!
I did forgot support material! And I feel now such a jerk!
That being said, the results without support are astonishing!

Thanks again, Peter, for your great support.
And thanks to Alfio tha PMd me with the same precious informations.
