If it’s hard to tell what is going on with each part, I can try and take better pictures. Each part is positioned just like it was on the print bed. The leftmost one was by far the worst look wise, but I think has the best dimensions. The middle one looks really good except the front face, but is a bit shorter and the holes came out terribly. The right one also came out well except for the front face and the holes.
Ok so forgetting about the fact that there is a large hole in my buildtak… This might be a clue as to what’s going on. It’s not shifting in the sense of the belts are slipping becuase there are multiple perimeters that line up, so if it did shift, the wouldn’t line up. Anyone have any ideas?
Yeah, that was what I thought, but he said he checked it, and that they are tight - but it really do looks similar to that, any idea how much movement, one revolution of the motor corresponds to?
The torque is very high on that pulley. As nothing else come to mind it might be interesting to double check. And also check the belts. The short ones must be very tight and the long ones a bit slack.

How would I check that? I have noticed that every rotation there seems to be some sort of click for every rotation of the pulleys on the Y axis (the problem one). I can’t tell exactly where it’s coming from besides somewhere in the front. It doesn’t make that sound when the belts are not engaged, but I haven’t seen anything to indicate what the problem is. Any idea if that’s the problem or where that clicking sound is coming from?
I was asked about that pulley before, and I did reattach it with thread locker and made sure it was aligned with the D-shaft. I can double check, but I’m fairly confidant that it is correct.

What do you know, the pulley was loose! I feel bad for that constant denial of the problem now. I’ll tighten it and see how things go now.

The bottom red boxes are where it had the problem with the loose pulley, but it can’t be that because I just tightened it yesterday with thread locker. Is it possible that despite all the tightness it had yesterday, the thread locker lowered the friction allowing it to slip and then solidifying in a looser position? There was also a shift in the Y axis, so I believe the problem is still there.
EDIT: The extruder assembly just had no oil I oiled it and it was fine.
