Shifted layer
Hello printing fans,
for some reason the whole layers shifted in my print of 12 identical sorting boxes, making them unusable in their grid.
Did the motor jump a few steps for it to happen or was there maybe an error in the G-Code?
I might have forgotten to eject the USB adapter for the SD-Card in Windows before unplugging it, could that be the reason for it?
Sadly I can't supply any data of the print as it is part of a paid data pack.
Thanks for any help in advance and stay safe, folks!
Best regards,
Andre

Hi Mini,
were thee any collisions?
Sometimes when there is a collision, the X or Y axis fails to fully reset and this can cause a layer shift.
this could be X axis backplate tight, Cable tie ends touching something behind the X axis, or lack of lubrication
try moving the X axis by hand. see if it moves smoothly from end to end of travel, and that nothing obstructs travel

Id also check the x axis pulley grub screw is still tight on the flat. A small shift like that is a classic symptom of a loose pulley.

Thank you so much for your help!
I stopped the print to not waste any more filament so I couldn't check for collisions.
I will have a look into said possible issues 🙂
