Shifting x-axis while printing
While printing in ASA (Prusa) in an enclosure (temp up to 38 / 40 deg. F) it seems the x-axis shifts. I've printed this item several times before without any issue (wall thickness 2 mm) but now it has failed 3 out of 4 attempts. The layer shifts approx. 0.5 mm on different heights but only once per print.
Would there be a reason for a mechanical problem?
Any ideas??
Check grub screws on X and Y axis, and if they arn't loose, then check your belt tension.
Good Luck

Found the issue
The grub screws were all ok, the belt tension was also ok. I found the motor screws for the X-axis were a bit loose. After tightening all was back to normal.
Thanks for the suggestion!

Good news - happy printing. Have a loose screen can cause a lot of problems for a printer and people.
