Layer shift and stringing on PETG pring

I'm trying to print a honeycomb pattern with PETG on the Core One. Everything goes OK for about 10 layers after which there is a large diagonal layer shift of about 10mm. As well as the layer shift, the print goes really chaotic, strange and stringy. In other words, it's not just a layer shift - something else seems to be going on.

It's happened twice in a row now, around the same time in the print. I have the latest firmware 6.5.7 installed I don't have "avoid crossing perimeters" enabled. 

I see a lot of suggestions to check the tension of the X/Y belts, but I don't understand how it could be a tension issue when the first 10 layers are fine.

What could be going on?

SideKick Speed Loader for Prusa Core One INDX

https://preview.redd.it/i6d44mf58gah1.png?width=1016&format=png&auto=webp&s=e121b04a1603716f78f0b5df19e2d755f695d40f

For those with INDX on the way (or in hand) who don't relish the idea of manually pushing the filament every time you want to change it, I've designed an INDX version of my SideKick concept originated for the Prusa XL. I'm sorry I don't have my INDX yet to show the SideKick working on an actual machine, but I'm quite confident it's ready to go. The image and test video are using a print of the released filament sensor parts. The SideKick plugs into the indent on the top of the filament sensor holder.

You get to determine your own power source, but a 9v still works in a pinch. Also, if you're using some kind of fancy automatic spool rewinder, you can use the provided STEP file to add a spot for a polarity switch if you feel the need.

All feedback is welcome. Well, I can live without the "just do it by hand, lazy!" comments. :P I look forward to seeing makes and remixes!

Printing ASA on C1+/C1L/XL

I 3D print parts in ASA, currently on a Core One + MMU3, a Core One L and an XL2T with enclosure.
I got it to where I can consistently print simple parts, that usually have a good surface to lay on the bed. Sometimes requiring mouse ears to stop warping.
Then, there are more complex parts that have been hit or miss, or, in some cases, miss or miss…
Case A: first photo is a regular occurrence, near the bed, parts get deformed… but it’s quite random, see right side, perfectly straight.
Case B: following photos are the most common, some parts aren’t able to lay straight on the bed, they need supports. The surface on top of the supports consistently warps, this makes parts unusable… I’ve tried soluble supports and straight ASA supports.

Does anyone have any tips to what is causing this and/or how to fix it?
I’m not sure if it’s from the current ambient heat, although the A/C is usually on, or if I’m printing too fast..

i mounted a tiny microphone on my apartment balcony to listen for any birds passing by and built a site to collage them as they're heard
