Anyone ever run in to this issue
So It seems min printer from time to time is losing its zero or something. It seems to only happen on long prints (+15 hours)
Anyone know how I cant fix this?
I am running the latest driver on the printer (Mk2) and using Prusa Slic3r

Looks like Layer shifting to me?

Are you printing in Silent mode or High Power Mode?

I am currently running in silent. Should I try high power?

Yes, use High Power mode, instead of Silent; it changes the torque properties of your machine's steppers.
Assembled MK2.
Re: Anyone ever run in to this issue
I haven't gotten back to it yet to investigate but I have had that happen only twice ... to the same print. It happened and so I reprinted and it did the same thing. These were two simple whistles, not big at all. I have to go back and try again while I watch to see if it happens yet again. If so then I suspect a firmware bug triggered by something in the gcode.

I use Simplyfy 3D across all my 3D printers and get great results. Even in quiet mode on my Original Mk2 Prusa I3 3D printer. (overnight prints)

Lubricate your bearings on the guide rods. Mine was doing it and it took me a while before i happened to see it bind up.
