I built my 3D printer a couple of months ago, but I can’t get it to print sharp corners. The corners in the picture should be 90°, without any fillets:

During this test print, I played with multiple parameters: speed, temperature, acceleration, junction deviation, linear advance. All of these were also individually tuned previously. Nothing seems to make a difference.

Could this be a issue with the construction of my printer? I’m beginning to think my hotend isn’t rigid enough, but then I would at least expect better results at low speeds.

Edit: the printer is a CoreXY of my own design running Marlin 2.1.2.1. The Slicer is PrusaSlicer with most settings left as default (but increased speeds)

    Just throwing it out there cause I don’t think it’s been mentioned, but could it be possible your belts aren’t tight enough? I could see something like this happening if they slip a bit when trying to suddenly change direction.

    what happens if you try just moving it 10mm, is it going the expected distance at the expected pace?
