I have an Ender 3 S1 that I use every couple of months at this point because it’s just such a pain to use. I have to adjust the bed tramming and z offset and run auto bed leveling for every single print and often times that’s still not good enough.
It will often take 30+ minutes just to get the first layer going down successfully.
Is this a me problem or did I lose the creality lottery?
Maybe check for loose screws, that’s one of the most common issues. And your Slicer settings, maybe it isn’t saving or restoring the Bed Levelling data.
