Hello, The output shifts to the side like the image. I want to know why this happens.  
And there is a terrible noise from the printer. I also want to know the cause of this.

Hi @pupu477,

Both the print shifting as well as the noise would both have the same root cause, being a contaminated or under-lubricated X-axis lead screw causing the X-axis to stall. I would suggest [getting in touch with our Support Team](https://support.formlabs.com/s/contact-support?language=en_US), and they can provide you with a cleaning kit to take care of the issue.

in addition to the lead screw cleaning device, goto the dollar store and get a few denture brushes, they’ll help getting the cleaning process going.
