Missing layer line or thicker layer

A problem I have been having, seems to be on most prints now.

I'm having this strange issue which I think is not a layer shift.  Sometimes a part of layer is missing, sometimes it seems like the filament squeezed out thicker.
It's most often happening at roughly the same height from approx 30-60mm. Have printed full height, but after the problem  "zone" it prints perfectly.

Same issue here.

I'm also seeing this. It appears to be associated with just my second tool head. I initially thought it might be a partially clogged extruder so I did several cold pulls, but the problem persists. This morning I swapped out the extruder for a new one. We'll see if this helps or not. I'm not optimistic because after removing and carefully inspected the older one, it looked perfect.

I've had this same issue as well. My assumption was that the z-axis is skipping or doubling up on a layer. It's not a consistent problem though so it's hard to troubleshoot. I've also only seen it on higher z heights which makes it even harder to trace down.

Can each of you chime in with how you sent the file to the printer?  
Using Prusa Connect or by manual USB transfer?
