I am using Ultimaker Cura 4.8.0. Lately, I have been having Layer shifting along the Y axis. My first thought was to check for loose belts or other mechanical problems. I noticed that it didn't do this all of the time. It seemed to do it while printing large cylinder shapes (about 3" Dia.). I was starting to suspect that the Cura program was the problem, so I uninstalled and re-installed it, but that didn't help. Finally, I sliced the file I was working on with Slic3r and it worked great. I'm pretty sure that the Cura program on my machine is the problem. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Shifting Along Y Axis Due To Slicing, I Think

I tightened the set screws and marked the shaft and the pulley as you mentioned. The pulley us not slipping on the shaft. It doesn't shift the layers with other files. I have tested this with a test cube file that I use, a test file that I use for calibrating the height of the build plate, other small cylinder shapes, and a popular sculpture of Captain Picard from Star Trek. These all print out perfectly, but the cylinder-shaped objects that I'm trying to make fail miserably.
I forgot to mention before that I have another printer that is the same make and model which is exhibiting the same behavior. I thought it was probably the slicing program but I am not sure that is the case. I have written to the people who sold me the printer to see what they think. I have a third printer that seems to print the parts just fine using Cura. Can you offer any other suggestions?
