Make sure the X carriage is snug on the smooth rods (the teflon block on the back rod was loose on our sd4 when we got it) and if you haven't replaced the Y idler blocks, I would do those sooner rather than later as well. one of ours had a crack that was causing a similar issue with odd shifting in the Y axis...

I had the same "open-faced" mount for about 6 months without issues. If you have too much wiggle, use some tape around the groove on the E3D to get yourself stable long enough to print the extruder I linked.

Filament guide and tension arm will be the same.

Sounds unsanitary! big_smile
I think the mount for your hotend is loose. You may need something more sturdy like this .

Is there a chance your Z axis isn't moving smoothly?

i pid tuned the bed and the e3d.  seems like the Y axis shifts a bit, x seems to be okay, i did add the bed stabilizer, the bed i can move the bed slightly because of the leveling, should those screws be almost all the way tight?  bed is sitting almost about 10mm above the arm.

if it was over extrusion wouldnt it over extrude on all sides?

Could also be movement of the glass or other mechanical parts in that axis.

These 2 items were printed using the same settings... I also usually have a bed shift near the beginning of a print then all seems to go fine.

These are both abs. Both from the same enclosed machine.   The cube is hollow. The printer part is 70% infill.  No differences in slicer.  The bottoms both have a large shift.  Cube has a second larger shift at the top.
