Did you perhaps find the problem?

Raised blobs will catch the nozzle during travel and give a noticeable thump. Improper height (printing too close) can also cause this.

I am running a Sanguinololu with a 6' cable, and a RUMBA with a 15' cable.

Try cooling the motor and driver.

Having a Y axis layer shift of 1/2 inch to 2inches.  I can not figure it out. I have two smartone 200 printers and just one is giving me this problem.  I have tightened the belt checked cooling and upped the power on the stepper driver. Loosened the Y bed rail rollers but not of that made any difference.  It will shift y layer some times on the second layer and some times about 80% through the print. no rhyme to it.

Maybe a failing endstop. If the endstop glitches during printing it will count the point of the glitch as home and shift everything from there to the proper coordinates based on that new position being home..
