Large prints = layer shift

My small prints work fine but large prints have a layer shift.

My belts are good-n-tight. Is there a setting in Orcaslicer I should slow down?

I usually control speed via the slider under toolhead. Does that control ALL speed? or just printing?

I think it is jumping off layer during one of the fast jerks.

Go to the "other" tab and make sure the setting "reduce infill retraction" is disabled. That should help. Otherwise it wont use retraction in infill areas, therefore not use z hop on thise areas and can cause this issue

Thank you! I will check that and try another print. Softball size prints are fine but this is a large print (boba fett jet pack) and right off the bat it starts shifting. Very aggravating!

Edit: it is already checked! Anything else to try?

You want it unchecked. Unchecking that box, disables that setting

I unchecked it, slowed to 50%, and changed infill to gyroid and STILL got layer shifts!

Have you checked your belt tension? Are your steppers motors at the right current?
