Stupid tip to temporarily reduce X/Y shift in the print.

I noticed that I was getting x/y shift on my print layers and when I pulled apart my bulldog lite extruder I noticed that the hotend was wobbling in its mount.
My solution that cured this issue?
A shim, Using the excess raft, i hoped of a bit and shoved it in the gap between the hot end and the pulley assembly.
resault is no wobble and no layer shift!

Had the same issue: simply unsrewed the brass insert of the Hexagon nozzle and got about 0,3mm which presses the nozzle now against the extruder body...

Nice,

Also had this with another extruder, put in a shim and it was gone. Very handy hose things

Btw, by 'nozzle' I think you mean hotend?
