What is causing these layer lines? I'm assuming it has something to do with the curved part, as it starts around the same height as them. Is there a way I can avoid these? (programming.dev)

I would guess it’s a timing issue; since the layers on the front part take longer the back part has longer to cool and shrink in relation to other layers. Maybe a draft is increasing this effect - do you print in an enclosure? If yes, maybe a setting a minimal layer time might help - that way all layers have an equal amount of cooling time.
