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?

Belts being too tight is just as much of a culprit as belts being too loose. Tension your X axis belt correctly.
