I had something similar happen and it ended up being tangled filament...

Ok

#

So... you put the printer away for a year. I might take a closer look at your POM V-wheels and your belts

#

The wheels could have set with dents in one side (hence, bumpy ride = bumpy print), and the belts might have stiffened.

#

It almost seems more like a consistent Z-banding of epic proportions...

#

Also, I know you said you checked all the bolts, but maybe go over the Z-rods and all the bolts that hold these together (couplers, nuts that the gantry rides on, and other spots where slop could occur from slipping).

I'll have a look at those things, thanks for advice
