I would not use a fan yet, because if you had the problem with overheating drivers this would happen constantly, not just once during a print.

Your problem is over-extrusion. Eventually, there is enough build-up that your nozzle can no longer plow through the excess layers and gets stuck. The bang is the stepper skipping when it cannot physically move to where it is commanded.

Calibrate your extrusion.

I have a RAMPS/Mega board and adding a fan solved my Y-shift problem.

Anyone knowing why this is happening? Do I have to tight the belts?
It's the Y-axis that is slipping btw! I hear a "klunk/bang" sound, and then it print a little futher. as it slips on the belt?


Can anyone help me get this fixed?
