Different parts and it occurs at different heights.

I have an ultimaker original plus. Recently, every print the layer shits suddenly in the x-y direction about mid-way through the print. It then continues to print normally but in the completely wrong place. I have checked the pulleys, the belts, the end stops and have downloaded the latest Cura. I read that the stepper motors might be getting too hot - but posibbly not the case as they should be able to manage 80 degrees or it could be the pcb part overheating. Could it possibly be the g-code or the sd card? Thank you.

Thank you for the replies. neotko- I simply do not have the time to do the procedure 8+ times and testing it. I need the printer to work to prototype designs for university (final year). gr5 - I have done all of these things without success. It must be either the quality of the parts or I am missing something really really obvious. The printer is still in warranty - so I am asking Ultimaker (3DGBIRE) for replacement parts for the main assembles which I think are causing the problems. Thank you for your help!

That makes sense, I will try this when I have the time. Is there anything else which I could try?

Very inconsistant surface finish and the infill was poor quality too.

I have followed those steps, I'll test it out now.

I stored them P = 27.94 I = 2.46 D = 79.19 Max was about 155? is that max temperature? abit low?

I followed what you did...

Put the last Kp, Ki and Kd constants from above into Configuration.h How do I store them?

Checked the diameter and it seems to be okay throughout the roll. 90degrees, nothing happens. 100degrees - nothing happens approx 110degrees it bubbles.

Originally I had some pronounced ridging on the surface of the prints. So I thought it might be something to do with the Z - Axis. I have greased and moved it up and down to check for any bad signs and I can't see any. Also, tightening the screws. I have tried a range of different temperatures and settings in Cura and tried the atomic method. Im presuming the filament is good quality, so it will not have an inconsistent diameter.

Hello all, I am having problems with the surface finish on my prints. Finished prints either have gaps or large ridges at regular intervals. The printer is Ultimaker Original Plus. I have done some research on other threads and forums and tried everything, still having problems. Any help would be amazing! I have attatched an image of some example prints. Thank you.
