Turned on retraction speed to 11 and i guess it wore down the filament at one part but then managed to push it after some 10 minutes of spaghetti 👌

Get an automatic bed leveler.
My printer just sits there, covered. When I want something, I uncover it, clean the printing surface with some alcohol, and tell it to print.
By the way, resin printers have a completely different set of issues. But yeah, they don't have those ones.
I have a BLTouch. Perhaps I need to assess how sturdy it’s table is that it lives on.
I have one of those servo sensors that use a microswitch at the end.
The printer has a sturdy frame build from extruded aluminum. That probably makes a lot of difference. I can take the printer, move it into some other surface, turn it on and print, without leveling issues. Before it I had a wooden one without autoleveling. That one needed leveling before each print.
