I got the belt tightened up. also I had to loosen the other side and slip the belt around the pulley in order to square my Y axis. now I can print good circles also.

Can do, but it won't fix this - this is purely a mechanical issue.

I had the exact same problem if you have a look at "Resolved:Problems With First Custom Print" on this forum.

Just unclip the right hand side panel and then loosen the two torx screws that are holding the front bearing mount. Pull it forward to put tension on the belt and then tighten them up.

They're Torx 10 size from memory.

You might want to have a read through the other fix to the belt I did for my one in that thread.

Cheers,
