I assume it is slipping only on the X or Y axis? Does that make sense? If not please post a picture because in that case I have no idea what you are talking about.
So figure out which axis it is and then tighten all 6 pulleys for that axis. There are 6 (six!) pulleys. The two most likely to be slipping are the two that are hardest to get to: the short belts ones: the one on the motor and the one above.
Tighten the heck out of those grub screws (aka set screws) and try again.
Also consider maybe marking the pulley and shaft with a tiny dot to see which one is slipping.

Sounds like your pulleys are slipping.
