    There was a time when this never used to happen but this problem started a few days ago.

    I've tried letting the machine totally cool down to room temp after the first print before starting the next one, but when I print I still have the issue.
    If I leave the machine off and get back to it again the next day, the first print comes out perfect and then I get botched subsequent prints.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks
    Could be a Voltage Drop to stepper-motors.
    Caused by the Power-supply or Mother-board problem.
    (I would first try an different power-supply)
    Make sure Fans are working at both PSU and Mobo.

    Or it could be a stepper-motor overheating and failing.
    I've read about that happening and causing problem like yours.
    (touching motors, after about an hour of printing, will let you know if Too hot)
    (I have fan on X & Y motors to prevent that)
