Why does my printer suck so much? (lemm.ee)

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?

Try starting at 215/65 with a PEI bed and then tune it down slowly until you start getting bed adhesion and/or warping issues.
