    Hi all.
    Been awhile.
    Everything has been printing great but recently no matter what I print the Y axis is shifting.
    I checked the belts & pulleys and they are all good and tight.
    The steps are all good, haven't changed them.
    The volts on the pot are still at .59-.6 haven't changed them.

    What else am I missing to check?

    Thanks

    check that your belts are tightened, and make sure that your steppers and drivers aren't overheating

    Check the fan on the electronics cover is spinning correctly.

    what speeds are you printing at
    try switching the position of the x and y drivers and see if it keeps shifting on the y or x

    thats odd, but now you know if the x axis shifts its a driver issue
