X-axis drifting
I have a MKS3+, I had a print detach from the bed and get a glob of PLA on the hotend that I couldn't remove well. So I installed a new hotend. Since then the x-axis is drifting to the left for the first 15min or so of a print. In a small print (pink part, should be straight down) this would effect the first few layers. On a large print, this usually only effect the first row (purple part) notice the top of the infill is separated from the perimeter more on the top, and the infill is over the perimeter on the left side.
All the belts are tight and nothing seems to be loose. These are g-code that worked prior to the glob, so I don't think it is the file. I am at a loss on what to try to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like exactly the bit the axis would move if the grub screws on the motor shaft are not fixed correctly (one flush against the flat part, both tight). Did you check?

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

I am embarrassed. I really thought I checked that, but I guess I didn’t. That fixed the issue. Thanks for the help!
