If you know why this happens pls help.
So for me the big bad indicator is basically the upper right corner on the one hand it looks like it was squished to much on the other it looks like an adhesive issue on the last layers of the right side.So a few questions that pop up for me: How does the file look like? Is it maybe wrongly sliced and the last part is in the air? Did you do manual mesh bed leveling? Did you check the bed level from the gantry to the plate with a kaliper to make sure it doesn’t change height between prints (to much)? How old is you nozzle? Is it maybe partially blown?

Seems like the top right corner is getting really close to the nozzle. Could be levelling, yeah.
I’m not sure how the ender works, but on my mk3s, I’ve had gunk under the springboard that did something similar.

Thanks. I will check it. I believed I did the leveling correctly prior to printing.
Ender 3 can be a bit finicky. Make sure to check all corners at least twice after leveling. When you level one side, another can be out of level again.

If your printer is fully stock, replacing the bed springs either with silicone spacers or stiffer springs can be a good value upgrade. Keeps the bed from unleveling itself while printing, and IMO it also makes the initial adjustment a tiny bit easier. A bed probe is an immense quality of life improvement though, if you can afford to spend a little more money, since it both compensates for less-than-perfect bed leveling and also for any unevenness in the bed surface.
On the subject of upgrades, stay away from the “all-metal extruder” which used to be popular on Amazon etc. The stock Ender 3/v2 extruder is poorly designed and breaks easily. The metal version of it doesn’t break, but it’s still has the same bad design. If you’re going to invest money in a new extruder there are better options.
