Layer shifting

Hi, be having some difficulties getting my prints out nicely. It seems every couple of layers the next layer shifts a mm on the y axis. I know there are a few posts on layer shifting but it seems in my case its almost random, where a flat wall would be, well flat, its waves back and forth. Take a look and let me know what you guys think.

Enable Z-hop (vertical lift retraction) in your slicer, by setting it to 0.2mm, and try again.

That might be a loose set-screw on the Y axis pulley. Can you print a single-walled cylinder in vase mode, and take an overhead picture?

Yep, try 0.2mm of retraction vertical lift.

i did lower the printing speed and tighten all screws a bit more to help it out
