Leaning/Sliding prints

Hi there. I just got my printer a few weeks ago and after getting it assembled it worked successfully for a week or so. After that I started having some trouble with the prints leaning and it's only gotten worse. I've seen some posts about it and I've tried tightening all the screws holding the motors and tightened the belt as tight as i possibly can but I still can't seem to get the prints to be straight vertically. Everything seems to be feeding correctly and I'm not having any other major issues but it's impacting all my prints. Any help you have would be greatly appreciated.

This is my first post here and I can't figure out how to rotate the picture, but the photo is of a cube I printed for reference. After tightening the belt tighter it looked just slightly better at first but now is pretty much the same issue.

Re: Leaning/Sliding prints

tighten everything, what direction is the shift? front back? figure that out it should be the clue, it only looks like its going 1 way

I have a Prusa,therefore I research.

Take the picture in landscape mode. I don't think there is a picture rotation switch in the forum.

I tightened all the belt and motor screws and it helped a little but I'm still having some shifting. The shifting is front to back, so I think it should be the y axis but I've tightened the belt and made sure everything was secured properly but I'm still getting some errors in the prints. I've attached another picture now that I've tightened everything up again.

Did you tighten both set-screws on the pulley on the y motor shaft?
Did you make sure one of the set-screw grips the ground flat on the motor shaft?
