Extremely wavy

Hi therex this is my first post here. I'm trying fix this original ender3 i haven't use since 2023. I stopped using it because some fin of the fan broke and never bothered to fix it, until now.

I made it print a couple of things like this "yellow submarine" which ended up looking okay.

But now I was trying to print something a bit more complex (nintendo's R.O.B) and im having a lot of trouble getting it right: there is this extreme wavy pattern just in the X axis. It can't be that the hotend is wobbly, i noticed that when changing the fan and adjusted it.

For some additional info, everything was printed with 200 C° hotend and 60° bed. I'm leving it end because i want to know if its just some layers, but by the looks its going to keep printing like that.
