So far, my print success rate with the Bambu Labs A1 3D printer is 100%. Basically just sending the model to the printer from Linux and clicking GO. I haven't touched the nozzle. I haven't touched the filament since I loaded the spool. No problems with filament staying on the build plate as the build progresses.. No problem with releasing finished items from the build plate when they're finished. 100%. I don't even have a 100% success rate making coffee. This really is a technological sea change.

Do you have some more reference points (i.e. printers that you had a significantly lower success rate with)?

@robryk There really is no basis for comparison as far as I'm concerned. I earlier discussed in detail my experiences with my own previous printer that I used less and less and finally not at all since it was just too much work for too little success. Bambu has automated virtually all the mechanical and calibration aspects that commonly lead to print failures and their ecosystem is excellent.
