I purchased an Ender 3S1 about two weeks ago now, and it seems like I’m having to level the bed after almost every single print.

The prints themselves are turning out fine, I just don’t know how to get my bed to stay level.

I purchased these as I thought they were supposed to help keep the bed in place

    I ran into this with my e3v2 a LOT. Are you heating up the bed and nozzle before you level? You may have answered that and I missed it. Also, I’m not sure how well those silicon things work, I did the “yellow springs” and then make them all equally tight, then level by loosening. Another thing to check- is your build surface flat? Check when cold and hot. My glass bed wound up warping up near the middle ever so slightly and that would be enough to make a batch of moms spaghetti. I was able to get it working well for a while, then it somehow shit its pants into the silicone sock and mucked up the whole hotend with nice black pla+.

      I am heating before I level, I’ve spent many many hours on it today and finally got something

      Depending on how it goes when this print finishes I might switch back to the springs
