I have this odd layer shifting issue I'm noticing when printing in PETG, though I'm not sure its material related (see photos)

The issue is exaggerated in the photos with direct overhead lighting, but you can see that very regularly the layers shift back about .1mm (maybe less) for about 3mm and then shift forward that same amount. Back and forth again and again up the print. The shifting is occuring in the Y direction.

My Y-Axis belt seems tight enough, and I have a belt tensioner on it. But I could try retensioning it, I guess.

But I find it really odd that it is so regular in its occurrence, that if it was a loose belt, I would think it would be pretty random - or always messed up back and forth.

Anyone seen anything like this?

Any ideas what to check?

Thanks!

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
