Print slightly shifts due to Y-axis/bed problem
Hello All,
I searched the forum but couldn't find any related problems, so to the point - most of my prints were perfect to the point where I'm trying to print out a picture frame which is 170 mm long. Sliced using Cura with skirt and when model is placed in the middle of the bed it's misaligned as show in the picture below:
Calibration done and everything is perpendicular, no errors. I've noticed that when the extruder goes to bottom left curve the y-axis/bed had a slight play backward-forward instead of smooth move.
When I moved the model to the bottom of the bed the problem still persist but it's not so noticeable. There is some deformation only on the bottom left curve but the lines on rest of the skirt are perpendicular.
What I've noticed is that the backward-forward move is visible on the belt, so either this is the belt or Y-axis motor fault.
Any ideas how to fix it?
Cheers, Peter.

I think I've solved the problem - if anyone encounters the same issue with his prints, try different slicer. I was using Cura and with CraftWare I didn't encounter the same shifting in prints 😎 .
