New assembled MK3S+ Issues

After getting the printer, I accidentally did  the XYZ calibration out of the box. I went to the discord channel and have had some luck with setting back up the printers Z live. Then I did a print for 17 hours and got a failed x and a huge layer shift. Ran the print again, no issues, talked with the people on discord. And they had me adjust the pulley on the y axis as it was too close. 

I also decided to adjust the Z live a little more and they helped me with that. Printed out another benchy and then I had some issues with it having blobs as well, so I reran the calibration, then free that, I went to print, and it was all crud again! I did another calibration, and this time it failed. 

the print is less than a month old, could I have screwed it up or is it possible it’s just got other issues?

Some pictures of the problem prints would be useful.  Include a shot of the bottom of the prints too.

If necessary a factory reset (see manual) allows one to start over.

Cheerio,

Will do, I decided just to do the manual reset anyway! Should I just go with what my Z setting was before, or now after it's been recalibrated it will be different?

I would not just enter a figure for the Z, would adjust it live to get it spot on.

Try this live adjust is the easiest method, is very popular.
