On my ender 3 I have to turn the knobs on the bottom for leveling.

I just picked up a Bambu Lab P1S and it doesn't.

Fundamentally, what is different that allows the P1S and other printers to get away without it?

HA! I also just went from an Ender 3 to a big boy K1C and I can tell you mine has 3 z-screws that it uses in conjunction with a pressure sensor on the nozzle so it knows EXACTLY where it is and can adjust each screw independently to level the bed. It's fucking genius and it makes my ender look like a model T with a crank start, damn near literally.

So far I just hit print... And it prints

Totally unheard of on my Ender

Don't the 3 lead screws share a single common motor? https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/x1/maintenance/replace-z-motor
