My prints come out very well but I’m noticing on larger prints that one corner of my bed prints tighter than the opposite. What’s causing this?

Printing on an Ender 3 Pro with upgraded metal extruder, beefier bed springs and metal levelers, and upgraded hot end. Not direct drive yet and no auto bed leveling.

Your whole model needs more squish, but that corner a bit more than the rest. There shouldnt be gaps visible between lines

Not my model. Doesn’t show up in the slicer either.

When I say more squish, I mean get your nozzle closer to the print bed or increase extrusion rate. Gaps between print lines are visible and they shouldnt be.

Sorry if I was unclear, I was even surprised I got downvote LOL

Oh I see. Yeah. It’s pretty tight already. Anymore and she’s gonna start scraping.
