Sudden change in print quality - mid print

I've had the XL multitool setup and running fine, happy with the prints. I was doing a very large print and for the first time used the mid-print filament change to change from tool 1 to tool 2 automatically when the first filament reel ran out. The resulting print has a really visible change in print quality at about the time the changeover likely happened (although no way to confirm it aligns exactly with this). There were signs that the corners of the print had been lifting up at the front. The next print I ran (tool 1) had a similar result although (confusingly) the print quality was ok in some areas of the perimeter (back and most of the sides) but worse in others (front face and sides closest to the front).

Have run calibration checks today and everything seemed ok. I printed a smaller test piece after the checks and it looks ok. Any ideas what could have caused this change mid-print?
