X axis wandering

Hi all. I’ve just finished building my

first prusa (not my first 3D printer though). I have adjusted the first layer properties, and I think I’m somewhere close, but the x axis is shifting whilst it’s printing, and my first print lifted quite badly. So, what else do I need to do to get the calibration better? Also, I know you can’t clean the textured bed with acetone, but what should you use to clean it? 

thanks!

So, I thought the wandering could be the x axis belt was too tight, so I loosened the stepper, then retightened. And then cleaned the bed with isopropyl alcohol, and that seems so far to have cured all the issues. We will see in multiple prints time.....

RE: X axis wandering

If you still have issues, try cleaning the build plate with hot water and dish soap, and scrub it.
