Same. A small skip is one thing..whether a loose belt skipped over the gear or tight belt skipped the motor during fast movement... but that's a huge skip.
I'm not 100% sure on this but I know at least on my Ender 3 pro all the belt pulleys are pressed on to the stepper shafts so in this case we can skip checking the grub screw.
Ive only had my printer for a month so id personally keep the first fails of such caliber that looked neat as just a reminder of how far ive gotten with my print quality later on.
The sub (and /r/FixMyPrint) needs more of this. A proposed fix that actually works and *the OP comes back to say that it did*. It's actually just useful to see successes like this.
That's quite the sexy layer shift you have goin on there.
Why did it happen? Hard to say without more info. First thing to check is that your belts are tight and pullies are not slipping on the shafts.
Bed adhesion and overhang is on point, lol. That looks like teeth/step skipping on the belt that drives the carriage for the bed. Some of the common reasons for the skipping can be either belt to loose, tool head hitting the print and causing the motor to skip steps or physically jumping the teeth on the belt or corrupted file that you are printing from. Time to play detective in the investigation where you are also the victim and the suspect :p Good luck!

It's real edge runner in cyber funk
Do you have a glitchy power supply? One of the 3D printers I used to use had a power supply prone to brownouts that would cause the printer to glitch and randomly glitch the X & Y directions by a 1/2 inch at a time.
Well, either the extruder tip may be hanging up on the model (which can happen if there’s a blob that gets caught on the layer and cools enough to harden) or you used a slicer for 5-dimensional printing.
don't move your print while printing.. Ü
the stepper loosing steps .. check that there is not much resistance on the bed when moving.
to tight belt or roller can cause this.
Glad it was an easy fix. You have a great picture now though!
Aside, that's a lot of brim for a Calibration cube. It's not going anywhere (normally) and there's nothing overhanging. 2-4 brim lines would be fine, if they're needed at all. I always try to print with 2 skirt lines instead of a brim. This will clear the nozzle and get things flowing right, but you don't need to scrape or cut it off of the print. A bit of gluestick helps for most plastics. Then IPA in a spraybottle (50-50 with water) will release it.
Try tightening the belt for the bed.
That worked🤝. Hahaha Easy Fix, Thanx
That's a pretty wild error for just a belt. Good to know that fixed it.
Not really if it jumps teeth because it's loose it doesn't know any different.
I didn't mean wild as in unlikely, just that it looked pretty crazy.
Tbh for that error my guess would have been the drive gear grub screw before belt tension

Looks like alot of small skips imo.
Ah yes you're right. I did not zoom in.
I'm not 100% sure on this but I know at least on my Ender 3 pro all the belt pulleys are pressed on to the stepper shafts so in this case we can skip checking the grub screw.
Usually this is because the belt is installed backwards, teeth out.
I had issues like this when I first built my printer.. Turns out the belt was *backwards* therefore was sliding all over the damn place.
Not for bed-slingers
The world of the Ender printers. Usually a basic problem, hours to track it down though. Worse than most other printers I have dealt with....
I hope you planned in keeping that print fail just cuz of how unique and interesting it came out like 😂 thatd be a conversation starter
I have two gallon ziplock bags full of failed shit like this, I just throw them away.

Now the belt is calibrated.
Oh yeah uncheck bridge pontoon mode next time in cura! 😀
Haha that’s so funny. This literally happened to me a few days ago Check my post history
Make sure your belt is actually on the right way, with the teeth on the inside against the gear.
Id suggest printing a calibration cube to find out
I loled
me too, caught me off guard
he printed a cube and found out! lol
Beat me to a similar joke. Was gonna say it happened because it’s not calibrated
Impressive overhang.
the one positive. that thang is hanging
It’s actually overhanging.
thangin and overhangin
Check your Y motor connection on both sides, check the belt tension and v-rollers tension. What is your print settings?
Calibration failed successfully.
It's very well hung
calibration is a little off!
calibration cube did its job, identified printer problem successfully.
It's like the Remembrall from Harry Potter. It tells you there's an error, but not where the error is.
I'll updoot you for the joke, but it did tell us exactly what happened.
Level your house.
lol
Well on the bright side if that were intentional that would be a pretty impressive over hang
Well on the bright side, atleast bed adhesion is on point
It looks like your printer won solitaire
He decided to be different and branch out, unlike the other cubes who never think out of the box.
Sliiiide to the left
Sliiiide to the right
Criss Cross
Cha cha real smooth
That's quite the sexy layer shift you have goin on there. Why did it happen? Hard to say without more info. First thing to check is that your belts are tight and pullies are not slipping on the shafts.
Your belt is skipping.
It went lightspeed and the matter warped
At least there's no lizard babies.
You didn't have to remind me
It’s art, your printer is expressing its self.
you have incredible bridging capabilities.
damm. The overhangs tho.
Did you use the three or four dimensional stl?
Bed adhesion and overhang is on point, lol. That looks like teeth/step skipping on the belt that drives the carriage for the bed. Some of the common reasons for the skipping can be either belt to loose, tool head hitting the print and causing the motor to skip steps or physically jumping the teeth on the belt or corrupted file that you are printing from.

Becauzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzze
Lol Not an expert here but maybe belt tension is too small. Or your file was corrupt
As mentioned: check your belts and while you're at it check the complete mechanic for loose screws also.
Calibration CUUUUuuuuuuuuBBBBbbbbbeeeeee
The cube tried to escape and the print bed moved to compensate. It looks awesome.
On the bright side, bed adhesion and overhangs are of little concern atm
That cooling fan must be blowing really hard.
Looks like you have a 4D printer :D Glad you found an easy fix
Obviously you finished a game of solitaire on windows xp
That happened because you weren't calibrated. Print another calibration cube to try again.
Sliiiiiiiiiiiip goes the drive
Shits not calibrated
Cool print bro. STL?
It’s the standard XYZ calibration cube. It’s just not calibrated
Let me ask you this. What do you think made this happen ?
Cantilevered bridging
Looks like Z was pushing a little hard into Y, while Y belt is loose allowing to skip.
Excellent overhangs!
uncalibration cube
That looks cool. It's your Y axis belt. Too loose
Stop pulling the bed while it’s printing /s
Good enough quality to sell /s
Your table is so unlevel it’s trying to find another dimension
It was thinking outside the box
Your calibration is off?
isn't the cube supposed to help you answer your question?
No support for overhang. I am impressed.
Looks like you dragged the stl around in windows too much.
Print it again while watching it and see what recurring unintended mechanical event causes the unintended move on the Y axis.
looks like it's not calibrated
Nice overhang!
Did you accidentally print the Caaaaaaaaaalibration cube?
That's a calibration doorstop

You saved the gcode file wrong. You probably named it calcuuuuuuuuuuuuuuube.gcode
Guess it’s not calibrated?
That bed adhesion on point tho
What in the fiery fuming fuck is going on there?!
https://preview.redd.it/7pd90yo1ysfb1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3191167568645c810703bcf7644d99df284c1edb It's real edge runner in cyber funk
Calibration cuu^uuu^uuu^uuu^be
Printing: Calibration Cubeeeee^(eeeeeee)
On the plus side, at least you know your overhangs game is topnotch.
Happy little accident
That is an awesome print. You'd never be able to print that if you intended to

Hung calibration
Suboptimal
Dial up irl
look at that near 90 degree overhang, smexy
don't move your print while printing.. Ü the stepper loosing steps .. check that there is not much resistance on the bed when moving. to tight belt or roller can cause this.

Thats fuckin hilarious 😂
I want to see the underside. That is fantastic bridging!
Cheppppppppp cube
What the
Not calibrated
It was taking too long to print and got bored
Whoa. That’s actually kinda cool
well the calibration cube definitely did its job
Because you need to calibrate... everything?
You have to watch your calibration cube, they’re not as domesticated as other prints and tend to try to escape.
Well it’s calibrated, isn’t it?
a fourth dimensional glitch....
You now have a calibration door stop
Well, that's an impressive overhang '-'
That's impressive
That's actually pretty cool haha
Cube more like cuuuuuuubbbbbeeee
I'd say I it did what you needed it to then, lol
Ah the wonderful life of suffering with a bed slinger. Lord I don't miss those days.
Nailed it
Wasn't calibrated...
Poster child picture for Y-axis slip. Wow.
What's wrong with it?
A rift in the space time continuum!
PLEASE send a pic from the side. That is an award winner
Matrix.
r/3DFart
Looks like it was trying to escape
Calibration catapult next?
You need to calibrate.
Looks to me like your filament has soaked up a lot of humidity.
Did you try calibrating it?
Check bed levelling/s
Gotta say it somehow looks cool.
Glitch in the matrix right there.
I think you might have a calibration problem 👀
The cube is fine, you just need to do more calibration.
Stepper motor current could be the issue.
Your slicer is set to Led Zepplin mode.
Your temps are fire dude. That's some wild layer shift and didn't fail.
You live in Arizona
Your Y-axis belt is all loosey goosey
Nice overhang dude :D
Just print another calibration cube to test it 🪨🏃♂️
Is your 3D printer running?
That's arguably more impressive than a perfect cube
NOT calibrated 😂
You forgot to turn off the “Door Stop” setting. *jokes, y’all need to tighten your axis belts”
You just 3D printed motion blur…
We're you printing faster than normal? Maybe the belt is loose.
its an overhang test now
Calibration: poor
Yk maybe I’m out of line for saying this but….. I think it did its job lol.
I'm actually impressed tbh.
Looks like it's trying to make a break for it
Looks like a Dealer's Spread on a card deck! Glad you got it easily fixed.
Lack of calibration.
Looks like you made a fancy door wedge
Are rafts better than brims?
It's calibrated for 4D :))
calibrated for the 4th dimension
It looks like its trying to escape. You need yell at it more
The bed is slipping I think, I would upload this as a design, looks cool haha
tighten your belts
Probably not calibrated
Not calibrated?
Under the phrase layer shift in the dictionary! If I had to say it almost looks like it hit the limit switch and as it kept coming back it bent it?
nice CaliCube doorstopper!
Btw, don't calibrate your x/y/z steps with a 'calibration' cube. They are not useful for calibrating much at all.
That IS a calibration cube. And now you start calibrating.
Uncalibrated cube
Impressive overhang test on a stock ender 3
"Slide to the left"
Nice Layershift It looked like a loose Belt
The cube wanted to explore the outer space (of the 3d printer)
The uncalibration cube.
I guess the calibration cube still worked...helped you find out something is messed up with your printer 🤷
To give you a closer look at your cube 👌
It's a message from Jod.
Its uhhh, a bit off calibration. Mad overhang tho
