Right in the middle of an absolutely massive print this x axis shift occurred. MK4 printer. Printer ran a calibration just prior to print. Once my tears dry up, and I buy some more filament, how do I prevent this from happening again when I retry this?

Belt tension should be checked regularly and definitely before printing on a new machine. It being new doesn't have anything to do with belt tension.
