Toward her G spot big_smile
It looks as if it were designed like that. Still a good looking print otherwise.

Should they be loose or snug or as tight as i can get them by hand? Also, is it normal for the pulleys on the front end of the y axis to not have set screws? The left and right side are both missing them so im assuming its supposed to be like that (?)

Just snug them up you don't want to mar up the shafts to badly.

Disregard this. It makes sense why there would not be set screws on anything but the motors now...

Don't forget about the ones on the cross shaft in the rear of the printer.

Im fairly certain it was sliding to the left. I took it off the glass without taking note but if my memory is correct it was going towards the left side. This would indicate that the x axis set screws were lose if that is the problem correct?

Yeah I thought about the other shafts but the X and Y stepper motors would be the most likely candidates.

+1 but as long as your there check them all.

The set screw inside the collar of the toothed pulley directly on the stepper motor shaft

Or any other pulley that is driven by a shaft.  I'd have to say that is one of the coolest faults I have seen.  I sure hope you figure this out and let us know what you find.

Interesting..... to say the least, looks too smooth to be motor step loss??? maybe pulley slip on the stepper.... but yes different picture views could show it better.

I was just thinking the same thing loose set screw allowing minor rotation on the shaft?

Where is this set screw located? And if this was the issue would it show up in other prints? Im making a stand for a firework right now and it has a cylindrical part similar to the rocket that is coming out okay.

Here's more pictures
