Printing offsets instead of staying vertical.

My prints are not vertical like they should be. I've flashed the printer twice. Removed all software from my computer. It happened on g code already on my sd card that worked before. I recently replaced the extruder, heating element, block, thermistor, and wiring. But it printed vertically for a couple of prints. I'm at a loss, any help is appreciated.

RE: Printing offsets instead of staying vertical.

Judging from the picture it looks like the printer is loosing position in one of the axes. Properly a mechanical error - Could be that the grub screws on the motor pulley is loose and the pulley is slipping. When the power is off the bed and extruder should move smoothly in both directions (alignment and linear bearing test).

To test if the motors is loosing steps Crash detection must be on in the firmware and not printing in stealth mode.

Have a look at my models on Printables.com 😉
