Question Elephant Foot? Thermal Contraction?

I can't tell if this is Elephant foot or not. I dont think its z-banding or other z axis artifacts because I printed a test cube that came out much better. But, for some odd reason this print seems to have a noticeable bulge at the base.

The model.

Every layer on the bottom is solid infill for weight, and I have 3 walls. Im using Inland Tough-PLA at 215c nozzle temp, 70C on the bed, and my machine is a Voron 2.4 350mm variant. I also did a benchy test print and the bottom text came out good, so I think my nozzle offset is accurate. Im not sure what could be going on...maybe some sort of thermal contraction?
