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.

Had a similar issue with my Ender 3 Pro. In my case, turned out the bed wobbled. A quick Google search said that it's apparently a pretty common problem with Ender 3 Pro's. I had to tighten the wheels that held the bed in place, and that completely resolved my problem.

So, my advice would be to check if your bed wobbles

Not just enders. Creality beds in general. They collapse and wobble.

Ohhhhhh, didn’t know this. I’ll definitely try that. Thanks!
