    Hey all,

    Just got a 3D printer, and I was trying to print this level:

    For some reason, early in the print, everything shift to the left a bit. It doesn't look right, and finished product doesn't look clean even if I trim this off.

    Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

    Thanks in advance

    Quoted from taylor34:

    looks like a belt shifting or you need lube on the rail

    The rail being that long metal post that it rotates on to move up and down?

    I'm using Cura as the slicer.

    It was the tension on the belt! Nice call!

    Tightened it up, and it's printing perfectly!

    Thank you!
