Where there is an artifact the print goes askew.
Has anyone seen this?
I'm designing in fusion 360 and slicing with Cura.
Printer is a creality ender3 s-1 plus with the direct drive extruder.

If you want to send me the stl file, I can take a look at it.
I don't think it is the stl it is doing it for other prints as well.

My guess is 1 of 2 things.
Either it's not adhering well to the bed but it seems to be.
Or
The nozzle is dragging the model.
I'm gonna go back to factory resets in Cura relevel and change the nozzle.

Yeah, if it's doing it on all your prints, it's a machine issue. Looks like the print is moving during printing.
Are you printing with a skirt or raft? Have you tried slowing down the print speed?
 
Skirt.
I think it started when I switched back to PLA from PETG. I had some base settings in the slicer for each material. But something is no bueno.
The machine is new it's about 3 months old and had been going just fine until this.
Also I am using a PEI build plate. I've noticed it likes to be hotter to keep things adhered.
 
I was able to discover what the problem was. The build play on this printer has a motor with a shaft that moves the build plate back and forth. One of the set screws was loose allowing for a small shutter as the build plate would shift.
