I'm so right there with you and know several people in the same boat. We all got so sick of tinkering and still having a high percentage of failures to the point that it became a chore, but now its as simple as slicing and waiting.
I've put 2800 hours on my X1C in the last 18 months and have had to do only one repair and have had maybe 10 failed prints mostly from adhesion issues. It's been good enough that I've been able to create a side hustle and just bought a P1S during the Black Friday sale to pump out more volume.
