@kinginnovator listen to Gr5. it is the voice of experience. Consider - if Cura can't get the Gcode right on a simple model like that then no one would use Cura.
I wrote a macro to read Gcode into AutoCad and I've done that with a couple of hundred Cura generated gcode files.
You can post your gcode, and I can read it into AutoCad and we can see. I'm going to bet that it's exactly correct.

Ok.... So I printed the same part at 45 and both sides skewed this time not a single side. This makes sense because they share the same direction. But I noticed in the firmware where the stop/start lines are at each layer change and I've been following a hunch. So I set z seam to random instead of shortest path and the skewing went away... So I decided to see if I could investigate further on this by printing a very long wall in both the X and Y direction (picture). No skewing took place in either to my surprise.. At this point there is definitely something different happening about the program in how it sees a more complicated geometry. Yes you mention the layers of complications going on behind the scenes yes. I need to figure out a geometry that can point the finger at the monkey aka (demon lol) hiding. The last wall part had no travel moves or possibly so much else when compared to the square frame.. Any ideas on what time of geometry I could use to say "ah ha!" I use Fusion 360.. Ive owned 8 other (small) printers before this one so I definitely think I could be dealing with a very tiny demon where acceleration isn't the same in a smaller machine when scaled to this. There has to be some geometric shape I could print to test the next step.. Remember when I when to random Z seam everything went away and this makes total sense if the same layer isn't repeated electrically/mechanically..
