X parallelism problem without explanation!

Agreed. Steel core belts and small pulley corexy are a bad combo. The steel wires in the belts break due to excessive flexing around the small diameter pulleys, and then the belts stretch over the broken wires. It will cause all sorts of weird behavior.

les petites poulies corexy sont un mauvais combo
Thank you...
I observed the belts and indeed to an irregular shape and ungully, when it passes on the pulley of the engine, I hear a noise of clack. I think the soul of steel is broken on one side!
I will order new range, but also new pulleys.On this subject, I do not quite understand when you say big pulley. Currently, I have 20 teeth GT2 which exact model should I take for the belt and the pulleys (do you have a type to communicate to me)?
Thank you.

@Rudy2A If you change the pulleys, you will change the belt alignment also, so I would not change them (I mean the number of teeth, the diameter). For alignment rules, please check the image samples of wrong construction of Mark Rehorst on https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Fdp4ah8Wh1CzPStKwDIiN_boE0fUlqfv where the images are commented by him.

I still had a new belt length (same belt previously installed) ... I just changed the belts to test and the problem was that, a belt with a broken steel core inside ... I could have thought of it! Frankly, a little over a year ago, I hardly knew what a 3D printer was! And here today, I built my own printer (inspired here and there ... but each piece was thought and modeled by myself in part thanks to this forum)
So, I'm going to order another type of belt, to start with and see for the pulleys and by documenting all your links!
In any case, thank you all for your advice!

@Rudy2A by "big pulley" I mean large diameter. I don't know the minimum diameter that will allow the steel core belts to last a long time, but based on the size of the "cables" that make up the core, the diameter should be at least 25 mm, but bigger would be better. That includes the drive pulleys!

par "grosse poulie" j'entends grand diamètre
Alright I understand ! Indeed, the steel souls of the belts being very thin, to be constrained on a greater diameter will avoid to the souls to heat and to break!
I also did a little research on different forums and the report of unreliable steel belts. So I will invest in other types of belts ... remains to see which!

I have these: https://e3d-online.com/gates-powergripr-gt2-belt-6mm-x-100mm
It's genuine Gates and is not too expensive! -

J'ai ceux-ci:
Yes indeed, I had seen them earlier in my research and as soon as I have to make an order at e3d, I will not hesitate to take them!
Thank you

@whosrdaddy Your recommended Gates belt are 2GT which is not the same as GT2, the profiles are according to https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,842583 different (2GT: circular, GT2: curvilinear). I would use the Gates 2GT belt only with their 2GT pulleys.
P.S. personally, I change all my belts and pulleys to 9 mm GT2.
P.S.2: there are GT2 belts from Gates 6 mm: LL2MR06 https://www.biedlers-belts.com/long-length-belting/long-length-powergrip-gt2-belting/2mm-pitch/gates-ll2mr06-belt.html

@JoergS5 : I am using their pulleys so I did not encounter the "wrong profile" issue
