X axis shift at Height 48
Hello all,
Went through all the varying troubleshoot videos for this once it started happening and am here for advice now. My printer is an i3 mk3s (upgraded from an i3 mk3) and lately at about height 48 it has been shifting on the x axis to the right. It never shifts the same amount, but when I pause the print to move the x axis back to its home it ends up several mm away from where it should be, any ideas? It doesnt start doing this until this height specifically.

Edit: double checked the height, actually doesn't shift until 124. Everything below that is fine.

Since the problem is height sensitive - look closely at the extruder cable when it gets to that point.
Can it be snagging on anything? It leaves the extruder in a nice straight line?

It wasn't snagging on anything, at least nothing visible, the cables have more clearance than the pinda probe. I have the zip ties oriented they way they show it needs to be as well. The first time it did it, the motor sounded like it had hit far left side, and when I paused it I didn't see anything that it could have snagged on. I loosened the x carriage screws a bit thinking they may have been a bit tight, and redid my xyz calibration. Which came out good, but it apparently didn't fix the problem.
