I've been fighting layer shift over the past week with my Ender 3 v2. I've had the printer for 3 weeks and the first 2 weeks produced excellent results. I ordered a bltouch and new spacers (instead of springs) and installed those. I don't actually have the BLtouch installed, but I ran the wire through the sleeve and have it prepped.
Note: I printed the cubes at 200% to show the examples better.
After doing these upgrades I am now getting shifts. Here is what I have tried:
What are my next options?
Thanks everyone! I am not quite ready to give up on it, but I am contemplating a return from Amazon if I can't figure this out.

After doing these upgrades I am now getting shifts. Here is what I have tried:
- tightened both X and Y belts
- loosed both X and Y belts
- tightened nozzle by taking off the front cover
- added a spacer under and next to the Y motor
- printed on multiple different tables in case my build table was vibrating
- Sliced with Prusaslicer (first block), Cura (2nd block) Cura with Z hop on (3rd block and the worst looking)
- Eccentric nut on the Y axis. Table does not have wobble.
- Different filament
- I am printing slow. Sub 50mm/s
- Happening on all models I try
What are my next options?
- Will finishing the BLtouch install help? I have good bed adhesion on glass and glue sticks, so not sure if that will help
- When rolling the bed, there is a minor bump with rolling. Not sure if that was always there or not. It is VERY minor, so not sure if I am over analyzing it or not.
- Increase stepper motor current? I've heard of this, but don't know how to do it
