Bad drifting

I built the i3 mk3 a few weeks ago, during the build I broke the x-axis idler assembly. Prusa took mercy on me and sent me a new part. Before I replaced the parts I could print mostly fine, but I did have some layer shift. I attributed it to the part I broke. Well after replacing the x-axis idler assembly I printed a calibration cube and it got worse:

Any ideas what I should check first?

It ended up being the x axis motor's set screws weren't tight:
