Small Space at the Bottom of the Print

I assembled the printer one week ago and realized that I have a small issue that sometimes prevents me to prevent some small detailed models. Please check the image below. Why do I have this small space on the left? It happens to me in many prints before also. May you please help.

Best Answer by Neophyl:

That can also be caused by improperly tensioned belts.

It is either under extrusion or you are not low enough.  Both the bottom side of the print.

You could try setting your Z calibration a little lower, a bit more squish might help.

If you have prusament PETG download and print:

         https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/46639-tension-meter-for-the-gt2-belts-of-i3-mk3s-or-prus

It MUST be prusament PETG or the reading will be off.

Cheerio,

Loose screws can do the same as loose belts sometimes.
