This summer I bought a white PLA+ filament from Sunlu. After some trials, I found these settings in Ultimaker Cura for my Dremel 3D45:

The layer thickness is 0.2 mm. The objects were printed almost perfectly for my needs:

Now, after 3 months, I tried to print with the same material and of course with the same parameters. Even if the infill seems quite good:

the walls are terrible:

I'm using a dryer before and during the printing. I'm lost because I cannot think what can be happened.

The other variable is the environment temperature in the box: this summer was about 20 °C, now it is 12-13 °C. But given the use of the dryer and given that the Dremel is closed it should not matter.

Could the filament be damaged? Any other idea?

This looks like a clogged nozzle.

Clean your nozzle, and if you have a setup with a Bowden tube coming up to the nozzle, like an Ender 3, check that it is clean, and has good, strong contact with the nozzle.

The low ambient temperature is not helping, but should create warping, not a total lack of material.

In addition, make sure that you have a silicone sock on your heat block to protect from too much heat loss and have a more even temperature.
