I have had a similar problem. It turned out that the one of the screws holding the head in place had come loose.

thanks I will search on acceleration, it's not something I have touched on the settings, but I'm convinced there shouldn't be any perceptible play in the head, I have a new linear bearing on order, I decided against getting a new rail in stock 'just in case' as you say it's $$$Doug Fisher wrote: Tue Mar 09, 2021 Just to make sure before you pay $$ for new rails, since this issue occurs at a direction change, are your belt tensions are correct? Additionally, if you have unnecessarily overly aggressive acceleration (many come from the factory with this set too high), have you tried lowering it? Search the forums here and at LightBurn forums for discussions about these issues.
thinking out aloud if it was an acceleration issue surely it would show when cornering a normal sharp right angle at any speed? or maybe the acceleration set is variable depdnign on the main speed of head...
thanks
