Solved Print shifting

I have had this happen twice now and can't figure out why. For some reason, my print is shifting. When I look at the print in octoprint, layer by layer, everything looks fine. But after it's printed, the entire print is shifted over.

I've printed other things, both before and after this that print fine.

Hopefully you can see it in the picture. The holes are supposed to be straight up and down.

Any thoughts?

 

Ok thanks. I went in and slowed down the print for the one I posted. It didn't matter.

Is there someplace that I can go that talks about how to tighten the gears?

 

Thanks. I'll check that out.

 

Ok. I'll check that. I'm just afraid I'll screw it up and then it won't be useable.

It's weird that it seems to work for so many prints and then it screws up the same way on the same print.

 

I'm on a mac and I use slicr.

 

I'm running it through azure right now. I didn't know that existed. I need to stay up on the 3d print world better.

 

How long does it take for the azure to repair? I've had one in there for 3 days and it still says inqueue. I leave the window open until it kicks me out and makes me log back in.

Can you or someone else look at these and see if they can repair them? I'm waiting to hear back from 3dsimplify before I buy it.

 

<Cussword here> . When you said Netfabb, I downloaded the windows program and have been trying to get it to work. I didn't know there was a web version.

 

And thank you. The bezel looks much better. Printing now and I'll report in on the other after it prints.

THANKS

 

I couldn't get the bezel to repair. I only had a few minutes to play with it each time and couldn't figure it out. Just tried the web one and BAM done.

 

I just tried printing the control panel again and it messed up in the same way. I'm at a loss. The belts are tight. Other prints are printing fine. Watching the gcode previews don't show any errors.

 

I've had a similar issue with a part the other day that falied with the same shift 3 times in a row with different materials (and speeds). It's a part I've designed myself the usual way so I was pretty confident it wasn't a broken file.

Since the part was "open" I figured that even if the part hadn't warped/gone unstuck it could have been a case of it deforming jsut enough for the nozzle to hit it at some point causing the shift. I tried rotating it 45° so as not to have edges aligned anymore and it printed fine, so I guess that was the issue. Or the fact I added supports that weren't really needed but filled the holes and maybe allowed the nozzle to better "glide" there (the print always failed pretty much at the top layer of the holes so it seemed it could be related).
