Random layer problem

I noticed that I just started getting random layer issues.  I just got the printer up and running about a week ago so I'm not sure what is going on or how to maybe fix it. I have switched filament and dried filament and neither has fixed the issue. The first several prints that came off the printer were flawless.   Now my prints have this layer defect.

There are several possible causes but the most likely is incorrect belt-tension and the next is a wrongly installed motor drive pulley.

See:

Step 31 on https://help.prusa3d.com/guide/7-y-carriage-heatbed-assembly_707785

Step33 on https://help.prusa3d.com/guide/2-frame-assembly_707740

And the equivalent X axis steps.

If these don't fix it come back and we'll dig deeper.

Cheerio,

RE: Random layer problem

Both belts were somewhat loose, turns out i did not install the Y axis belt tension adjustment screw so I'm sure that did not help.  Running a test print now but seems like belt tension was an obvious problem.

THANKS!
