Could be POM bearing/wheels too loose or too tight. If it appear on the X side, move the X cariage, left and right; for Y side, move the platform back and forth and feel if there’s any bumpy effect, if there is, there are one or more POM bearing/wheels maybe too tight. Adjust the eccentric nut to loosen it slightly.
