    This problem started, basically, out of the blue a few days ago. I've done some searching around the forums and subreddit but couldn't find anything like my problem. What's odd is that it only appears on the X axis, as in left to right. The y axis sides come out pristine. I'll give my print settings below, and can give any more that's needed. Any help is greatly apprieciated.

    Printer - Robo 3D R1 Plus
    Filament - Matterhackers Red 1.75mm PLA
    Slicer - Cura
    Hot End Temp. - 210^C
    Bed Temp. - 60^C
    Print Speed - 100ms
    Layer Height - .2mm
    Infill - 15%

    Hello! Is your belt tight? It should twang not thud when you pluck it. If the belt is tight check the timing pulley for the x axis, there are 2 set screws that love to come a little loose

    It did seem that the set screws were the problem, however, the only test I was able to perform was a small cube. I'll run a larger print overnight and update with results in the morning. Thank you for your advice.
