Layer shifting happens when layers in a 3D print are misaligned, causing the print to look skewed or out of place. This issue is usually caused by mechanical problems, loose belts, or stepper motor issues that prevent the printer from maintaining accurate positioning.
To fix this, ensure that all belts are properly tightened and not slipping during movement. Check that the stepper motor drivers are functioning correctly and not overheating. It’s also important to make sure the printer bed and frame are stable, as vibrations can lead to layer shifting. Reducing print speed can also help improve precision and minimize the chances of misalignment.
