Already the four corners are leveled manually before the print and I already make auto bed leveling with BLTouch, what do you mean by the tip is managing on the printer? Also, I will try z hop to see if that will solve my problem.

@HazemIsmail You should try to do a temp tower so you know what temp your printer prints best at. And also if you change the filament print width, even if you have a .4mm nozel, if you choose something like .3mm or .2mm it will print the lines closer together and that might work.

Have you checked that the Y-axis is not wobbly?

Considering this is a wheel carriages operated printer, you should definitely check the rollers of the Y carriage and the non driven Z side carriage. Although a popular design, it has its flaws, problems with the (eccentric nut) rollers is one of these.

Yes I checked Y-axis and there is no problem. For the Z-axis I already ordered the second rod drive for Z
