Print is going in different places
Hello
I have the Prusa i3 plus Kit that I received and finally got up and running. I have had some moderate success printing as this is my first printer that is to be expected. But all of a sudden the prints have started to come out terribly misaligned. The prints tend to veer off to the y axis motor for some reason. I hope that someone can help me solve this problem. I have made sure that everything is square, tight, and calibrated. What stuns me the most that this started for no apparent reason. I did not change any settings on the printer or in sli3er. looking at the print the, x axis motor seems to be doing OK as the distance is consistence but the y axis motor is the one that is all of a sudden giving me problems.

Are the belt pulleys on the motor shafts tight enough? If not, they slip on the shaft and cuase misaligned layers. 💡

Hello
Yes sir the belts are nice and tight as instructed in the online instructions, they do " ping".

It's not about how tight is the belt, but if the pulley is secured on the motor shaft. There are two setscrews, please check them.
