Can you give a little more information? like # of steps per motor, a photo of your printer, etc.

X axis pulley is 20 teeth with the calculation it's 80 step y axis is 16 teeth pulley so it's 100 step

Possible causes for the printer not printing correct dimensions:Incorrect number of steps/mm in firmware settingsBelts are not tight enoughPulley slips on the shaftLooking at the picture, I would go for the first case, because distortion looks regular ..

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.
