Hi

I've a pretty strange problem well this is my first 3D print and it didn't go well the layers don't overlap
I've tried to switch from Cura to Sli3r slicing and the overlapping changed it's axis from Y to Z

This is a video to demonstrate the process Video

any suggestions

WOW! That sounded heinous. You have some serious vibration in the x-axis belt, your z-axis squeaks, and the motors sound horrible.
Make sure the stepper drivers are properly adjusted.
Tighten the belts to "firm" and not too tight.
Lube the bearings/bushings. On all axis ensure the smooth rods are parallel. And make sure your z threaded rod and nuts are not creating tension.

Check the temperatures on your electronics! A few days ago we got my printer in working order and had similar problems. Not right from the start, but about 5 mins into the printing-process. My printer started skipping steps when it ran too hot, resulting in prints similar to yours.
