Re: Print layer shifted to lef/right after 2nd layer onwards

Layer shifting is generally caused by the stepper motors not being able to overcome the forces trying to stop the printhead.... in your case it looks to be overextruding which is causing a lot of friction for the print nozzle to move and push through the previously printed layers.

Re: Print layer shifted to lef/right after 2nd layer onwards

thanks. i fixed the prob  by tightening Y axis belt. however now my layers especially the first later is not uniformed ..the print is not  spreading each strand of plastic into a flat layer. Have a look at the attached file . i`ve calibrated the Z-Axis and i even changed the extrusion multiplier from 0.7 to 0.8 but i still got the same result. Any idea ?

after tightening belts, you need to recalibrate your step per mm. I just recently calibrated mine.
