Issue with printing
Hello everyone,
I have recently acquired a Prusa MK3S printer a few days ago, and I'm still learning the ins and outs of 3D printing.
I have managed to calibrate it successfully (XYZ), tweaked live Z a couple of times and printed small items such as the Prusa logo included in the stock SD card.
I have tried printing something a bit bigger this time ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2134321 ). However mid-way through the print, the nozzle started bumping into the printed and the print went sideways. I've waited for a bit before I stopped the print (pictures below).
I'm printing with 215c nozzle, 60c, 60% print speed.
What could be causing this issue?

Check your belts? All of them.(and bearings).
Check if bearings and other parts, if they are loose on the underside of the bed.
Possible this is the y -axis if model standing the way is think it is standing.
Check if belts are not to loose.
Check if belts are not rubbing against plastic part of the printer.
Check if bearing are moving smoothly, do this by hand without power on the printer.
Clean rods, and put thin oil on them, oil with PTFE inside, this is maintenance every few months or weeks.
Check all axis if they run smooth.
