Greetings all,

I did see some other threads that mentioned x axis shifting but none that described a perfectly aligned shift.

Has anyone experienced a print like this. The first few 3mm of print are normal then the entire print shifts over about 10mm for the rest of the print. I printed this same piece a couple of days ago without issue. All suggestions and thoughts are appreciated.

You might have skipped a tooth or two on the belt. Check the tension.

I will. Skipping a tooth makes perfect sense as the rest of the print finished as desired. Thanks for your input

I was slightly loose. I went ahead and tightened it. No issues thus far. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
