Printing is staggered

If your print is offset, it may be due to lost footsteps in motion or other problems in the printing process. Here’s how you can fix this:
CHECK THE SPEED AND ACCELERATION IN THE GCODE:
- Check the print speed in the Gcode file. Speeds that are too high can cause the belts to slip around the pulleys and lose steps. Make sure the print speed is set appropriately for your printer and the material used.
- It also verifies the accelerations in the movements. Accelerations of more than 6000 mm/s² may cause belt slippage. Check that the acceleration settings are appropriate for your printer. Keep in mind that these figures may vary depending on the model of your printer.
CHECK THE EXTRUSION FLOW:
- Controls the percentage of material flow set in the slicing software. A flow rate greater than 100% can cause excessive material build-up during printing, causing collisions between layers. Make sure the flow percentage is set correctly for the material you are using.
CHECK THE EXTRUDER NOZZLE:
- Check that the extruder nozzle is properly attached. If the nozzle is unscrewed, it may cause bumps during printing. Make sure it is tightly screwed in and in the correct position.
