Y axis issue
Hello,
I noticed some Y axis shifting. Diagnosed it back to a set screw that didn't get tightened properly. Tightened the screw and then the troubles began. Unit kept saying "crash detected." I ran it through calibration several times and it's just getting worse.
Here's what happens when I try to print the Prusa logo as a test:
The printer is now totally unusable. It's essentially new, only assembled it a few weeks ago and printed a handful of small items.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Forgot to say, As you can see, the printer doesn't seem to really know where it is along the Y axis when it starts to print.

Not any more than whatever was asked during installation. Nothing is frozen though.

So... that's it? Lubrication? It's spent maybe 10 hours printing so far....
