Dual extruder calibration print repeatedly shifts towards x-Axis during print

I have tried the DSE calibration print three times now. Whilst generally the calibration seems to work (pretty much aligned parts), everytime during the print at seemlingy random moments, the entire print shifts 0.5 - 1 cm towards the X- Axis and therefore making the print useless. I can definitely rule out that the flexblade is moving or the print was moving on the printbed.

I have redownloaded, resliced and used a different high quality SD Card I usally use for my DSR- Camera but the problem pertains.

Any Ideas what could be the reason and how to fix it? I never had this behaviour with single extruder prints so far so it must have to do with re-locating the starting point after hotend switches.

Fixed it :) reason was that the x axis was to tight particularly on two spots which caused the "hopping"...

    First print (part two)

    Left the z calibration for another day and thought I'd try a benchy. I think I might have to check the temperature settings that I had on my proforge mk 1 as I think the ones for the mk2 might be too low for my filament. Lots of layer separation.

    Work in progress

    After taking an age to build it (health issues) I finally started printing tonight. Amazingly something appeared on the plate. Looks like I have some z calibration issues to sort out for the 2nd extruder, but all seems ok otherwise. Happy days.
