$\begingroup$ Can you give a little more information? like # of steps per motor, a photo of your printer, etc. $\endgroup$– Fernando BaltazarSep 13, 2017 at 15:33

$\begingroup$ X axis pulley is 20 teeth with the calculation it's 80 step y axis is 16 teeth pulley so it's 100 step $\endgroup$– Dream DeveloperSep 13, 2017 at 15:59

Possible causes for the printer not printing correct dimensions:
- Incorrect number of steps/mm in firmware settings
- Belts are not tight enough
- Pulley slips on the shaft
Looking at the picture, I would go for the first case, because distortion looks regular. Try checking microstep settings on your board, and settings in the firmware.

1$\begingroup$ yes did it with first case although against the calculation which I did. changing microstepping work out $\endgroup$ Sep 14, 2017 at 16:00
This could be because your belts are either old or not tight enough. Try adjust or replacing the belts and try again.
