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?

    Back in my day you had to level the bed by hand! We had to put a piece of paper between the print nozzle and the bed until the gaps were perfect. If the bed was warped, there was nothing you could do!

      Printing on glass, using tape or hairspray to help with adhesion… I’d print a skirt with a couple lines so I could level the bed a bit before the actual print started.

      Man hardware has come a long way.
