Recently I've also discovered a feature within Cura which gives your printer the ability to print multiple parts at once all while keeping your prints looking great with no added time.
For reference, I like to keep my printer as close to stock as possible. I have had problems with the extruder side Bowden fitting and have replaced the tube and the fitting as well. That is covered in a separate video. I've also upgraded to stiffer bed springs to apply a little more pressure on the leveling knobs in hopes to not have to re-level the bed (so far so good).
As mentioned in the video, here are the important settings for each test:
Printed on glass build plate with dollar store glue stick
All prints with 0.6mm nozzle
I use this glass amzn.to/2KyLCjO after my original glass had a chunk removed

I mention Octoprint and Spaghetti detective in the video because it is one of the best additions to my 3D printer yet, I do not check on my prints anymore, if I want to see the progress, I just check the app. If you print any type of production volume I can definitely recommend this, if you only print a little bit, it is nice to have, but not a necessity.
If you are struggling with problems and you need help, send me an email or write in the comments.
