Layers not aligned

Hi All,

After some help in topic Prints support get loose prints are knocked over I've been able to print my models. I'm now reaching another problem.

My layers don't seem to align and the issue gets worse when there is a different pattern in the print. I've attached a photo.

Does anyone know where I should start looking? I would really appreciate a point in the right direction 🙂

 

Thank you!

When printing supports it looks also really like the layers aren't aligning

The first thing I would check is the mechanical quality of the X and Y axes, as in the belt tension and the pulley tightness and alignment.

For each layer, the print nozzle should be at the same exact X and Y coordinates.  From your photos, it looks like it's missing the target.  There also may be some inconsistent extrusion issues.

i’ve tightend the belts they are now 255 / 265. I reran calibration and after everything still all prints seem to fail at something...

in this print the support seems to be skewed while it was generated straight.
