Staggering in Y axis of print
I have a Prusa i3 MK3S I put together from the kit. It's not quite layer shifting.
Belt tension is at 263. Is it from the carriage? It does move slightly but its from the U bolts on the bearings. I tightened them per the instructions (as soon as the nut reached the surface of the carriage) but am I suppose to tighten them tighter so theres no movement? Or is it something else?

Found the issue, posting for anyone else that gets it.
The u-bolts are suppose to be past the wiggle point for the bearings so if you just do surface tighten like the instructions say you're not done. I emailed Prusa to check on that. I still had the staggering but I actually got a clear case of shelving after I tightened the ubolts and I found the motor pulley of the y axis was just slightly loose. After I tightened it my prints are back to being smooth.

IIRC, TFM said to tighten something like 90 degrees past the wiggle point.

No it doesny, TFM states the following.
My issues fixed already.
