Regular maintenance messed up my printer!

Yesterday I updated my firmware to the latest version of Marlin, ran PID on bed and hotend, disaasembled hotend and cleaned it out, and leveled the bed (which I hadn't done for 3 months due to my nylon nuts holding the bed perfectly level). The only setting I changed was z axis feed rate from 1mm/s to 2mm/s. I have attached a picture of my test cube. All other print settings are the the same.

You did not say if you used your old EEPROM settings in the new firmware or if you just flashed a clean version.
If not spefically designed for your machine you will always have to do some tuning.

Did you use slic3r? Did you update it recently? V1.2.8 onwards has a problem with narrow walls overextruding.

Did you try reverting back to the od fw? It may have introduced some problems.

I used same firmware settings and double checked using the prusa calculator. I have been using cura as slic3r would export gcode for a while. I'll try old firmware after I hook up the old computer I have it on
