I have no idea what's going on.

evanalmighty  I'm still super interested in how to restore the printer

Again, I can't prove that RH .92 is the cause.  All I know is that the printer printed fine the first 2 weeks on stock firmware.  I then flashed it with RH .92 and started having this issue almost immediately after.  I tried to change the acceleration, jerk values, and print speed without any improvement.  I wasn't prepared to mess around with it any further so I went back to the stock 1.0.3 firmware and the problem went away immediately.  From what I could tell, I don't think the problem is mechanical or slicing software related.  I used Simplify3D to print with both firmwares so there wasn't any changes there.

Should we start a new thread? I'm hearing bits and pieces of this from other with 1.0a and RH.92.

evanalmighty did this happen to you or something?

If you have installed Repetier firmware it no longer writes to the sd card. It prints live mode now meaning if you unplug the usb or turn off the computer the print will stop once the buffer empties. Usually about 30 seconds.

So I doubt it is the card since Cura nor Repetier host use it. All it is used for now is to store the EEPROM dat that the firmware uses to configure the printer.

That shift is being caused by a hardware glitch of some kind. Is it always in the same direction? Try rotating your object 45 degrees before printing. If the shift also rotates then chances are it is still related to software. If it still shifts in the same direction then it is hardware.

I dont know how you feel about sharing your STL, but if you could post one of the failing ones where we could try it, we can at least rule out the STL.

Could it be a glitch with the usb port sending some sort of strange signal?

I figured out some important information last night though. I thought it might help someone who knows more than me about this printer to figure it out.

If I only print my model towards the back of the printer (towards the z-axis bars) the item will print fine. It's only when the print crosses the ~midpoint on the y-axis that my print will occasionally (but more often then not) shift on the x-axis and always to the left.

What it's not;
Slicer (used both Cura and S3D)
Model (happens on all models)
The belt tightness (the belt does not slip I have watched the error occur live and the stepper just pauses for half second or so then continues)

What it is;
Controller board?
Wires?
Power Supply?
Firmware?

The issue has to be printer based because windows vs. linux, direct connection vs. octoprint, and  cura vs. S3D does not make a difference.

Tonight I'm going to clear the Firmware and re-flash RH .92. Other than that I'm kinda at a loss. Any ideas?

Because it doesn't happen every time it makes it very hard to diagnose, also I watched it mess up this morning no play in belt.???

I'm running a 1.0A on RH 0.9 as well. This is new issue but a HUGE pain my success to failure ratio was 10:1 now it's 1:10.

Not sure how to fix it either i'm using S3D but I had the same issue in Cura

And it almost seems like it's a software issue still because it screws up at almost the exact same place every time

Does this happen on the sample model when pronted from the sd card?

If not then it is software and that means you need to figure out if it is host or slicer. If need be uninstall every thing and go back to square on. Always start with the basics and calibration.

Reharding motor drivers. Reready post. The drivers are actual circuits that may or may not be a part of the main controller.
