Ender 3 NEO printer is in question, from some reason in middle of printing the prnting just shifted to the side, any fix?

You might find its actually an issue with the file, try printing something else. This happened to me once and i changed which file I printed and then it worked.

#

Good luck.

One of your axis has possibly got stuck, then released but doesn't know it, hence prints elsewhere thinking it is still correct.
The end stops are only used at the beginning of the print for start accuracy.
I had this when a wiring loom got stuck on my Y axis.
Try moving the gantry around and see if anything comes close to catching or getting stuck...

#

Also check for tightness of the belts, this can have the same effect if it slips

Cables sometimes love to get stuck between moving gantry parts

#

It could be caused by your print head crashing into some print artefacts too, such as huge blobs on the current print layer

#

A telltale sign for stepper motor skipping is a sudden large screeching noise from the printer

Or a scary vibrating noise for a second or two...

Not good for your bets

also your grub screw/nut on the stepper motor, the gear itself where the belt is on might not be tight enough. you might be getting slippage on the belt because of this.
