Description: Print is getting displaced in y-direction after printing up-to certain height in Ultimaker 2 3D printer


Action:  This issue is caused either by a loose pulley (connected to the Y motor) or an overheated stepper driver. To check if it is a stepper driver issue, verify the firmware that is installed. In the latest versions, power supply to XY motors was lowered by 100mA. The leads to a lower temperature of the stepper drivers on the mainboard without sacrificing the motor performance. So, simply update the firmware and/or go to Motion Settings in the Maintenance - Advanced menu and lower the power to 1200 or 1100 mA manually.
