Solved New to 3d printing, looking for advice.

Im new to this

I recently bought an Ender 3 pro and have been experiencing printing issues where each layer drifts more and more to the left of the print bed. I experienced many other issues that I have found answers for but this one seems to be more difficult. The link takes you to the photos of the attempted prints that have had this issue

First I would go through all the set screws and belt tensions to make sure one isn't or something slipping somewhere

Belt tension
Speed
Acceleration

As long as the first layer is sticking and it looks like it is. This to me seams mechanical/settings issue. So check that the belt is tight and when the stepper is engaged that you cant move the x axis. What are your speed settings?

I am also a newbie to 3D printing & very happy with my Ender 3 Pro.

On the idler pully that tightens the Y belt, make sure the T nuts have engaged the track. The T nuts can be tight but not holding onto anything, ask me how I know.
