    I would start with ditching the supplied software and going with repetier, cura, or simplify3d($).

    Check the tightness of the set screws on the X and Y motors as well as the tension on the belts. Look under the bed for the Y belt. I don't know if it is a reflection that is throwing the picture off, but it looks like the adjustment screw (bottom of the image) for the y belt is not tight.

    I agree with Stephen. That adjustment screw looks like it has backed out. Try to snug it up and see if that helps. Might as well check all the other belts and set screws as well like Stephen mentioned. Once you do that and the problem continues we will move on to more possibilities.

    Am I missing a screw? There are two on the other side.

    Should only be one on each side. One for each end of the Y belt.

    Is the belt broken or the clip that holds it in place broken? The belt is not a loop.

    A number of people have had just the clip break and printed a replacement one using zipties as a temporary solution. Crazy that the belt would break, they are good to around 200#s I think.
