Just like checking your oil and your tire pressure on your car every once in a while, you should run a quick check on the overall health of your printer from time to time, as well.

My preferred way to do this is to print a Benchy model. There are other torture tests, but once you know what you are looking for with this model, it can tell you a whole lot. It is not a diagnostic tool, in the sense that it will tell you what adjustments to make, but it does tell you if there is a problem so that you can do some additional investigation, if needed. Benchy features include, bridging, holes of all types and angles, retraction, fine details, etc.
