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?

the bed tramming is normal, even GREAT printers need it done every few weeks or so

I brought my current printer assembled in 2020 (thus, with the bed adjusted). And I have done it once since then.

But I do run auto bed-leveling for every print.
