<p>So I have printed multiple benchies with various slicer settings. I have also made sure my bed is leveled well.</p>
<p>But no matter what I do, I get these over extrusion whenever my nozzle is moving in diagonals (left-right). It's always this same angle where it goes wrong.</p>
<p>Has anyone else who has faced this and has figured out know what the issue can be? I'm new to 3D printing so the help would be very much appreciated.</p>

So I have printed multiple benchies with various slicer settings. I have also made sure my bed is leveled well.

But no matter what I do, I get these over extrusion whenever my nozzle is moving in diagonals (left-right). It's always this same angle where it goes wrong.

Has anyone else who has faced this and has figured out know what the issue can be? I'm new to 3D printing so the help would be very much appreciated.
