      Well it's a delta so no real x motor. And it started randomly after one print.

        A few things come to mind,

        Does the shift line up with one of the towers? Maybe the motor or wiring is loose/bad on that tower?

        Is there any way you added axis comp M556 somewhere in your config or gcode file?

        I'm not a Delta guy myself but it doesn't seem like the direction would be off only in one way if the Delta Calculation was incorrect?

          Have you tried other files? I print alot of the same parts and have separate print files ready for each quantity 1-20 and each file worked fine except the 18 parts file which did this, no idea why to this day but it was only this file.

          Otherwise it could be a backlash setting in your config somehow. Or one of the axis is moving farther than the drive thinks it is which I would think with a delta would cause it so gradually drift to one side like that. Recalibrate the steps per mm?

            I agree with some of the other comments. Try rotating the model to see if the problem lines up with a particular axis. also worth checking that axis compensation is not on for some reason ...https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Gcode#Section_M556_Axis_compensation

              All good suggestions I'll look into when I get a chance. It dose not align up.with a tower but it dose ling up with true x axis. I have sliced 2 files separate and has done this. I'll have to reprint a older file to.see if it dose it.

                heres my config.g sory i dont know how to put it in a little windown like the others are. i dont see a m556 any were in it
                on a side note i printed a test cube that i had sliced before the problem aroused. the problem is still there.

                the cant is toward the left in the x axis it not angled toward any tower.
                would updating the firmware erase my config and network informations?

                  so now im confused. you can see in the pics that the first part that had the problem was bigger then the test cube i just printed. it was a file i sliced a while ago while setting up the printer. the slot is supposed to be straight up not at the angle.
                  the test block was a file i sliced a while ago. it has the problem for the first half and then it straightens up. it seems to be most pronounced in x and only slightly in y
                  im confused now.

                    definitely seems like a mechanical problem. Check for anything loose or shifted.

                      Check for a loose belt or pulley.

                        It was I had checked it like 3 times but the 4th showed the y axis pulley was loose.
