Laser is engraving, scoring, and cutting very skewed

I’m not 100% sure what kind of damage I would be looking for.

Here is an official response to a similar issue…

Found a thumping when my machine is cutting or scoring!

I’m so sorry for the trouble, and the delayed response. I can find some replacement y-axis belts if yours are damaged, but I agree with @PrintToLaser it may just need to have the tension adjusted. I found some instructions to fully replace the belt (copied below). I know it’s not exactly the same, but you may find them useful reference to you adjust the tension. In the second section called “Installing the new clamp and belt”, steps 5 and 6 include photos of the pulley that needs to be adjuste…

lots to check out there for how tight the belts are
sometimes a magnet or crumb gets in the way of travel keeping the gantry from moving properly. You should as I mentioned above with the machine off move the gantry all the way back and pushing on each side make sure each end is all the way back and thus that the gantry is parallel to the back of the case.
