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.

The print came out great so it wasn’t really an issue. Just more of an exercise than anything else. I am looking at getting a CR Touch. Not quite ready to convince my wife to get a vastly faster printer (and I’m not interesting in investing a lot more time to upgrade the E3Pro to Klipper). I’d rather throw money at the slowness problem and solve a lot more issues at the same time like direct drive, multi color, etc. in future. She’s gotten one functional print she loves out of this one so far so the pump is being primed so to speak.

Thanks for the matrix advice!
