I think you might be surprised by how far 3d printing has come, Really none of that is a concern anymore, even with basic printers. Heck, most printers don't even have an option for bed leveling.

Wwwwhhhhaaaaattttt?!?!?! Really? That sounds awesome.

In the past most of the cheaper printers didnt have bed levelers anyways. It's always the paper method.

I installed 9x9 BLtouch for all my printers which helped a bunch, but when you're printing 16 hours a day, the build up on the bed requires that I relevel the bed.

I really hope you're right. It was pretty hell back then.
