Print head randomly moves to bed egde then back again and continues to print

Hello,

During prints, the head moves normally, then at random, maybe once every 3 layers the head moves to the edge of the bed then back and carries on printing, but this causes problems with thin walled prints and leaves visible marks.  I have tried 2 different SD cards and have re-sliced the models many times.  I have been printing commercially with the machine for 3 years and have done over 30km of filament without a hitch until now. I have re flashed the firmware, and used different versions of the slicer.  On a Gcode viewer there are no rogue movements in the gcode.

Any ideas anyone.

Check your error stats; this sounds like minor crashes.  Possibly due to worn, clogged, or damaged; belts, drive pulleys and idlers.

Cheerio,
