I've had the good fortune of running my X1C for over a year with great effect. Now it's time to get serious about maintenance.

About your calibration cube. Check in your slicer if contour compensation is set to 0.1. If it is, it would explain why your cube is about 0.1 off on all sides. Also, enabling precise Z height and setting the resolution to a lower value helps. Asuming you're using orca or bambu studio. Great vid.

I've seen other maintenance videos but you explain why you should do it and what can happen. That's the gold. You also share your experiences and add some extra tips. 👍
While many race through the subject attacking you with a more aggresive tonal volume, you take your time in a calm irish voice. Here for it. Don't copy other Youtubers, do your thing.
May I suggest a future video of belt maintenance, belt tension and checking if your gantry is off?

Great Video. Gonna use this for my A1 maintainence. Also, regarding the calibration cubes, have you seen CNC Kitchen's latest video?

Why no one mentions the z belt tensioning is a msitery…I mean it’s easy to tension and it’s a part of the printer that’s need maintenance too. Anyway thanks for this vid very helpful.

While there's some good info, there's a lot of chatter. This vid could and should have been done in half the time in my opinion.
