I'm experiencing strange patters about residuals. The following chart is a scatterplot of Standard residuals (Sres) versus Fits. I'm interested in the diagonal lines that means that an higher fits leads to a smaller error.

Is there a common reason for this behaviour?
The response variabile is a diameter of the inner circle fit of a plastic component made by injection. The factors of the ANOVA are the Day
of the production and the Cavity
since there are 4 cavity in the mould.
