New extruder body results in PINDA probe being off target
I had to order a new extruder body part (you can't print one when your printer is down!), since the arm that holds the PINDA probe on the old one cracked, apparently after running over a rough print and when I replaced it and started the calibration, the PINDA probe is a centimeter to the left and below the dotted circle calibration point. Did the new part have different dimensions than the old? How do I adjust the x and y axis origin when there's no limit switch to move and have the print head contact? It's my understanding that the x and y origins are just where the print head hits the end of its travel, but how can you adjust this? Thanks.

Try an XYZ calibration. That often resets the probe to somewhere close to the white dot.
You may also want to verify you aren't mixing MK3 and MK3S parts ... that'd cause some problems since they do not share the same firmware and use different offsets.

could you post a photo oft the cracked Extruderpart (pindaholder) and the new one?
There are a lot of upgrades and differences between MK3 and MK3S. Take a look at the cracked part, there should be a mark of the current version as you can see on the picture (in this case R3):
Another possibility is to change x, y and z-coordinates in the firmware source.

another reason could be a sluggish x-axis. Adjust the screws on the backside of the extruderbody and check linear bearings for smooth running. Especially important if you use teflon bearings.

Unfortunately. I threw away the broken part, but I'm sure they were both i3 mk3S parts.
