Two guesses:
Someone else pointed out that your Bowden tube looks a little pinched in some of the corners, I can't tell which corner is underextruding from the video but possibly there's filament slippage from that?
Is there any oozing from the nozzle? If the corner with the problem is the "start" corner, any plastic that oozes out during travel isn't making it into the print. Depending on your slicer you should be able to randomize the start location per layer to try to hide it, but if that's the cause I'd try to figure out why it's oozing so much.
Yep, it is exactly that corner where the radius of the tube reaches its minimum. I think that is a hot candidate for the main issue. Also after removing the print, it turned out the the outside had this issue as well and that was printed in the other direction. So, coming out of the slow corner the flow couldn't accelerate quick enough to get back to volume due to high friction. Thanks, see my edit, I'll report back!
Yes, there is some. I have not calibrated retraction in Klipper yet, I know I should - however, this shouldn't be the cause of this with almost no travel between layers or different parts in this model. But it's on the list, you're right.
Yeah, if there's not much travel distance between layers I'd say the Bowden tube is gonna be your culprit. Looks like if you just remove the tie connecting the tube to the cables going to the print head you'll probably be fine, definitely report back!
