Hi guys,
This is a rather tough one I suppose :
Same printer, same settings, same PLA( even same batch), same slicer(and settings)
Exactly the same part is printed on both (2) printers.
Both printers are in the same room at the same shelf printing side by side --> simultaneously.
Why is on one printer my part glossy and that same part matte printed with my second printer...???
The difference is very striking.

One cooling fan working better than the other?
Ive recently found variations in how well the fans work even when buying 2 from the same supplier.
Seems some need more power to get going than others. Maybe they even run at different speeds.
Ive got to changevthe cooling fan i use for pla at the moment as it doesntvwant to start at a low speed.

I will agree with Wurstnase, your thermistors might giving different readings, one colder (matte) other hotter (gloss) .
I print a lot with PLA and I also don't use a fan, I only use it when parts required bridging. If you print slow and with low temperatures the fan isn't needed.

When he mentioned "same PLA, same batch " I assumed he extruded his own filament, that will be the only way to establish "same PLA same batch" if this is mot correct, then there is no way to guarantee that they are of the same quality.
Now as you mentioned, whatever happened to each spool after production, might reflect the results.
Have you swapped filaments between the printers?
