Line shift

In the middle of a tall print i believed it made a move i could hear that the speed was way to high
One of the stepper made a quick grinding noise and a hw print shifted slightly

My assumption is that i have a max speed set just a tad to high
Considering im running a 10 pich ball screw i am (again ) Assuming that its the ball screw that did it.

Any input would be appreciated here is my g code for the speed settings

If you suspect it's travel speed, lower the travel speed in the slicer. Or try lowering the travel acceleration in M204 T

Are you able to trigger a lost step by moving the print heat with manual commands?

@ziggymanpopo I have had this happen a few times as well. For me it was caused by stepper current too low, jerk too high or speed too high. .9 steppers seem more susceptible than 1.8 when pushed, at least in my experience.

That's your problem right there.
You have an insanely high resolution Y axis. As you say, the ballscrew is the problem.

You could:
Decrease Y max speed
Increase Y motor current
Increase motor voltage (if you are not already running 24V).

Personally I would add a belt reduction stage to the ballscrew, if you want high speed with a stepper you have to trade off resolution.
A 3:1 stage would bring your resolution down to a much more reasonable ~100 steps/mm
Otherwise you'll need to max power it and use a BLDC servo. But that's the most hassle.

thanks for the input
i believe the speed chainge is only at a high speed move ive done several prints with no prob
im gona try chainging acceleration in M204 i believe its a max move speed in the stl so my limit is just a bit to high
and no i cant make it do it it seems to be in the stl file
thanks guys
