I'm having a problem with my prints. Recently when I print rectangular pieces, the piece has an strange curve in one edge, it also has an strange patter in the surface. I have calibrated the bed but it doesn't change anything. What can I do to fix this?

I have a Tronxy cube X5 which I use together with Cura. I print in ABS at 230 °C.The print bed is set to 80 °C. I use a print cooling fan at 20 %. The layer height I set to 0.2 mm, the line width from the 0.4 mm nozzle. The Printing Speed is set to 20 mm/s for walls and 50 mm/s for infill. My retraction is 5 mm/off at 70 mm/s

Why straight lines on the top are curve?

Apart from the dimensions, it appears that the top layer is suffering from extreme under extrusion, like there is hardly any filament being deposited.

Your last layer started printing at the lower right where it did print okay, but, when progressing to the left you see the starvation of filament flow resulting in sparsely filled in regions that look like curved lines on top of the print.

This could be heat creep, entanglement of the filament spool or an extruder problem.
