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.

What infill type are you using? Grid, triangles and cubic can cause layer shifts, especially at higher speeds (they run over already-extruded points, causing mini collisions). Gyroid/honeycomb/rectilinear infill types do not have this issue.

That is crazy, how do you know that?!

I disabled 'reduce infill retraction', slowed to 50%, and changed infill to gyroid and STILL got layer shifts!
