1. Home all the axes, then raise Z up 100m. Now grabe the nozzle and wiggle. Look for anything loose, any play you feel in the nozzle will show up in the print and cause issues. 2. With axes homed as in step 1, grab each corner of hte gantry and wiggle up and down, look for loose bolts, play in pulley's on the Z motors, etc. 3. Check your belt tension 4. Derack your gantry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOn6u9kXvy0 5. Make sure you do quad gantry level (QGL), and bed mesh after everthing reaches operating temperature (heat soaked). 6. If you are using inductive probe, seriously consider a Voron Tap or Klicky. The inductive probe is known to have lots of issues. 7. There is a ``PROBE_ACCURACY `` command which is named poorly as it measures the repeatability of the probe, not the accuracy, but it is good to run this and make sure you have reasonable repeatability.

Very good! I forgot about this... I always set Z offset in slicer to be zero since I don't use it, but this very well could be OP's issue.

Are you using a mesh?

#

An incorrectly zeroed mesh can lead to results much like what you're describing

#

Can you take a screenshot of the mesh as seen in mainsail?

#

Well, scrap that idea. That looks fine...
