3cm top left of bed not printing correct?

Hi there,

I have 3x mk3s/s+ and I am pretty experienced at printing, but this has me stumped. At the very top left corner of my bed there seems to be a problem. I was doing a large 20cm x 20cm 'box' print and I noticed this corner had lifted. I have taken another look and the skirt prints fine all the way around to this point, then either is getting too squished, or not squished enough (more likely). It only happens in this 3cm region.

I have moved the y and x carriages to see if there was any resistance there, but all smooth.

This is just a small 5cm x 5cm print I have put up there now to investigate and as you can see something is wrong. For large prints, I need this area/corner to print correctly.

Any ideas?

The bed is 100% clean, done with hot soapy water and a full rinse.

Simple mistake

I turned the printer round for a good look while printing, and one of the red cables was clipping the heated bed power supply connector in the back left corner. I changed the hot end about a month ago and obviously hadn't tied the cable tight enough. Mods can delete the post if you want, I don't seem to be able....

The simple thing is usually the answer...

I've been pulling my hair out now for about 5 days with this, so opted for a forum post, but getting a good look at what was actually happening found the answer.  I'd been playing with the mesh levelling correction for the back left corner and everything! Just a simple cable tie (done correctly) did the job!
