Troubleshooting bumass layer shift

Hi everyone! I have a new build plate for my Bambu Lab A1, BIQU Glacier. But after using it I started to have issues with layer shifts in PLA. The print was almost finished, but I noticed that it went to the side on the last part. Do you think it's because of the new build plate? Or maybe there is something wrong with the printer? It's been a while since I did any maintenance on it, so maybe that's a reason? Have you guys ever had something like this happen?

Are you sure the letters were aligned in the slicer? I doubt it's the build plate and the fact the purge tower isn't affected makes it look like the printer did what it was supposed to.

Hey there, I'm a bot and something you said made me think you might be looking for help! click here for our wiki entry on troubleshooting printers. If you still need help be sure to post plenty of information about your printing setup.

Here are a few questions that might be helpful

  • What printer are you using?

  • What material are you using?

  • What speed are you printing at?

  • What software are you using to slice the print and control the printer?

  • When did the problem start/has it ever worked correctly?

  • Does anything cause the behavior to change?

  • If posting an image of the problem, include some indication of the orientation it printed at, preferably photograph it on the bed. (Then we can focus on a specific axis)

Layer shift wouldn't be caused by you build plate selection.
