        <title>sloping back along Y-Axis ?</title>
        <description> I am 90%  there...  prints are starting to become smoother but the Y-Axis is sloping back along with each layer.  

I&#039;ve attached  an image of a calibration cube I just printed.  

 I believe I need to adjust the  Y-Axis to compensate for this drifting backwards. X-Axis is great and my steps along the Z-axis height are fine too.

so what&#039;s the best way to adjust this Y-axis problem... in the  calibration.h   file or is there a physical adjustment I can make to the printer itself
I&#039;m on a Prusa i3.

            <description><![CDATA[ Another thing to check if the other suggestions check out ok, is to make sure your z-axis is perpendicular to the print bed]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Everytime I've had this issue it's been related to belt tension. I would tighten the belt in that axis and re-try the print. For a quicker test, try the 0.5mm thin wall cube found on the Wiki: [<a href="http://reprap.org/wiki/Calibration#Layer_height" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">reprap.org</a>]]]></description>
