Layer Shifts

I just recieved and built the MK3 kit. I started printing and all of my prints so far (all just benchmark tests) have been layer shifted. I have tried adjusting the u-bolts. I'm not sure what i need to do to fix this. Does anyone know?

Re: Layer Shifts

I would check your toothed idlers on the axis motors, that looks like belts slipping. How was first layer?

The first layer is pretty much always fine.

Re: Layer Shifts

Are your belts tight enough? Also your idlers? Looks like you are slipping somewhere.

I just tightened the screws on the Y axis motor. They weren't that tight. It seems to have worked, but we'll see.
