After a few layers, Orion loses the plot...

Hi All,
First, apologies if this has been solved elsewhere. I tried searching (not sure what the right term would be) and have read many posts here, but could find the same issue.
Anyhoo, I've had my Orion for four days and, though my first print (this same part, Kossel Mini plate_3x) failed because the PSU overheated and shutdown, it's been printing really well since. (I've left the LCD panel detached to allow more airflow while I wait for a response from support.) I've printed this exact same Gcode successfully three times. But my last three attempts have failed when, after a few layers, the effector starts going way high towards the X tower (assuming the tower to the left of the LCD is X.) The result is a pile of plastic spaghetti. This isn't my first Delta rodeo, I've been building them since Johann first released the Rostock and have two Kossel Minis under construction right now. However, I haven't used Repetier or the RAMBo before. Any guidance is appreciated. I've attached a picture of the last failed print:
PS: I'm printing from SD and using ABS.
