First build, need help tweaking settings
Hello,
After finishing the build, and printing a bit with my new MK3, I've noticed a some lines appearing on my prints. They appear on all outer walls (not the top and bottom), and appear to repeat with a some relative frequency. Does anyone know what the problem might be? (pictures attached).
Also, even though the printer calibrates successfully, I notice that the right side of the bed lower than the left (if I move the print head from left to right across the X axis, there's more space as it progresses to the right, perhaps about a millimeter difference). Does anyone know a likely cause/solution for this? I've checked that the bed screws are equal tightness - what else could it be?
Thanks in advance for all the help!

first thing to check would be if the pulleys are firmly attached to the shafts of the stepper motors (x- and y-axis)

Thanks!
The pulleys seem tight. I did notice just now that the X-belt has a bit of a tilt to it as the extruder moves (one side of the belt tilts down/up in the Z direction). I assume this could be a problem? What's the likely fix, and do I need to fully dissassemble the extruder to be able to adjust the belt?

Here's a link to observe the slight skew. Belt status reports X - 270, Y - 265. Thanks for all the help!
