Print issue - stepper motor skip?

I just assembled the kit and all went pretty well. However I tried a print on the .3 fast setting in the prusa version of slicer. The image below shows an offset of layers. In my several years of experience I have never really had an issue like this. Can anyone shine some light on what causes this so I can troubleshoot? Skipping stepper motor maybe, I am still in high power mode. (Link below to Google photos, can't get imbed to work on my phone, sorry)

I believe I have add solved this. The x-axis belt guide was a little too tight so the bearing was not spinning. This was putting a lot of strain on the stepper motor which probably caused a skip now and then...
