The print layers are shifted to the left

Hello guys, first of all excuse my english, it's not my native language.
I just finished my first 3D print, and I (already) have a problem.
The print layers are shifted to the left.
what is the cause of this problem? 😳

Re: The print layers are shifted to the left

can you just print that but only the first layer?

off hand looks like your Z should be closer to the build plate

I have a Prusa,therefore I research.
