Crooked line when cut, fine when fully filled. How to fix it?
If your machine has mechanical problems (and it does), then the result is the same in fill mode, you just don’t see it as clearly.
It’s not a mechanical problem, I have something wrong somewhere in the settings.
Fill comes out perfectly. Before changing the computer it was engraving correctly.
…unfortunately I don’t think LightBurn can make this piece of art 
If it’s something with your settings, then it must be a big one.

I think one axis is not working properly. Maybe you are right and it is the mechanics.
I wonder what I broke 
You haven’t ruined anything but sometimes the timing belt becomes too loose - or they are too tight. Another, slightly more iritrating problem could be that one of the small pinol screws has loosened in the pulleys.

I checked the mechanics, it looks ok. Any other ideas?
…but it’s not, believe me
If it was a CO2 machine it could also be a loose lens in the nozzle, but you have a diode laser…
Although Sculpfun mentioned, this applies to nearly all gantry lasers.
Run this test pattern for a quick check of the machine’s mechanical integrity:
Scale it uniformly to fit the platform and run it as fast as the machine will go in Line mode with optimizations turned off and power set to mark a sheet of cardboard.
Any differences from the design will be informative.

The lines absolutely are mechanical, there is no software setting that will make that happen, unless you are simply trying to push too fast. That does not look like it is simply too fast.
The corner overshoot may indicate excessive speed
The rest is mechanical slop
