Sliding print

Hey guys! I just got this new mk3, and I had a few successful prints, or so I thought. On shorter prints, it looks fine. But on taller prints, it almost looks like it starts sliding, for a minute, but it always recovers, before it's over. The sliding starts at different times and goes for different durations and intensities. It's probably most noticeable on that castle, on the right. It always slides towards the front of the printer. I did have a problem with the y-axis slipping earlier, but that caused more jagged artifacts, and not this temporary, smooth gradient. The y belt is now as tight as I can humanly get it, even though the system says it's a little loose. Like, around 290. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

Check your Y axis motor pulley grub screws?
