#Offset in printing?

just to be clear, you're asking why the layers shifted off loose, correct? that'd be a layer adhesion issue which likely is a nozzle temp issue
Looks like you either had a belt slip or the nozzle got caught on this bit that lifted up.
I would double check z offset and maybe make sure your bed is clean to fix the curling.
Then once that is rulled out make sure the belts are not slipping
Or your lossing steps and outrunning your motors
Yeah, basically why it’s printing how some would draw a 3D shape on paper. It’s pla and I am doing 200C and haven’t had issues in the past, so I would probably rule out nozzle temp? Not sure tho. I’m new so idk much. Adhesion issues have been occurring but once I stopped print and took these parts off, they were stuck like they should be. Idk if that means anything or if adhesion is still an issue
Adhesion issues started when I washed my print bed with warm water and soap
I will, I set that often tho but anything can change
How do I fix a slipping of the belt? Or the outrunning motor?
Make sure the tension screws in the motor are tight but not TOO tight. I usually go initial hand tight then an 1/8 extra.
200 is slightly low for PLA especially if it's not in an enclosure. Try doing a temp tower model with the temp changes per tower layer and see what 215-225 look like
I did 215 for my very first print and it burned the filament slightly, so I went to 200
And as for the tension screws, do you mean the bed or the hot end gantry screws?
