Consistent layer shifting on new Prusa
So my brand new assembled Prusa is having some weird layer shifting issues. Upon closer inspection a few minutes ago, it may potentially be the bed axis direction only - but the weird thing for me was that it's consistent shifting between prints, see below where all the layer lines are in the same place!
I tried tightening the X belt which had no effect - but will try the bed axis, but incase that doesn't work, any suggestions?

Other usual cause is the pulley itself. A lot of people fail to tighten the 2 grub screws correctly, if they aren’t done in order properly then they work loose. Doesn’t matter what the belt tension is if the pulley moves on the motor shaft.

Doh! Great point, just checked and the pulley was indeed slipping!
Printing a benchy now to test, but if I don't post back, assume that it's fixed - thanks for the help 🙂
