Some of your layers look skewed. This indicates there is some slippage from a pulley or belt.
Check all of the pulleys' set screws for tightness, each one at the end of the rods for the long and short belts, and the ones attached to the stepper motors. Be sure that the pulley connected directly to the stepper motor has its set screw facing the flat surface on the stepper's spindle. This is to prevent the pulley from slipping under force.
After you tighten all of this down, take a sharpie marker and place a mark in each place where the pulley meets the rod. You should have a little black mark on both the pulley and the rod to show they are aligned. This way if it slips you can visually identify the problem.
