Y-Axis shifts multiple times during print

I have had two issues with my MK2 shifting the Y axis mid print and ruining the print pretty badly. Ive attached a picture of a print that shifted 3 times during a print. you can see where it shifted. Its only happened one other time out of probably 15 prints on the machine so far. What could be causing this?

Hello Michael!

Here is a link that describes possible causes http://shop.prusa3d.com/forum/prusa-i3-kit-building-calibrating-first-print-main-f6/-before-you-ask-troubleshooting-video-updated--t472.html part 'Print suddenly shifts in X or Y and keeps printing'.

Re: Y-Axis shifts multiple times during print

I had a similar problem and I found the screws holding the Belt holder to the bed had come loose. I tightened them and then Printed fine. after about a3 weeks I had the same problem. I purchase a small tube of Blue Threadlocker and spread some on the first 4 threads of the screw. So far so good.
