It's losing X axis and Y axis coordinates during printing, the print object get dislocated.
What happens is, it prints half, or an fair amount amount and then goes to some near points and at this new position it keeps printing like nothing happened.
Everything on hardware is fine. The belts are fully tight, the current of the motor is adjusted as it should, the axes of the motors are free, the temperature of the motor during work is ok, the maximum velocity is 360 mm per minute and even this still happening. I look up this solves [wiki.solidoodle.com] and none of them worked for me.

Its called skipping... can be many causes

Most common is insusfficent current. But can be that you steppers motors are just not sutable for the job. (motors should be under 1.7 amp, higher current steppers may work but will have very low torque compared to the specs on paper)

Can also be caused by belts being to tight...

I have also seen this occur when the power supply is a bit weak. The bed turns on and the motors lose power.

Can also be caused by extruding to much and the hotend phisicaly runs into the previously printed layers.
