I'm trying to think of the fiddling I've needed to do on it, over the course of ~30kg worth of printing I had to re-tention a belt, it told me that was required and how, oil the rails, it tells me when and how. I've jammed the nozzle a few times trying to hot change filament rather than just pausing and going through the correct procedure (that causes a slight layer shift and wastes a miniscule amount of plastic) it didn't know what happened with that, I needed to take the hotend out and heat it up on the stove to clean the jam out. Occasionally it will say the card needs to be reformatted, so I do on the control panel then go re add the file to the card, I don't let it connect to any network and just use it in card mode for security. Once it said the card was bad, but the issue was a light clog after switching from petg to pla, didn't purge enough and left a little higher temp material stuck in the nozzle. If the power goes out you end up with half a print though, there is no resume after power loss on the a1mini, and the printers that have that feature have trouble with it from what I've read.

I would recommend it, it's kind of amazing how easily you can make complex bespoke objects just downloading stls and messing around a little with your slicer.
