Need to adjust z more before each print - Drifting z height

Never had issues with my printer untill I recently transported it.

Since then I need to adjust z (live Z adjustment") before each print.

So if I do a fresh xyz calibration z is on 0.
At first print I need to live adjust to -0.05 for example. Next print I need to further adjust to for example -0.12 etc etc till after 10 prints I even end up -1.20

My pinda probe is not loose! It's still tightly at the same position.

Any idea what is going on and how to fix?

Unless you run either the first layer calibration or an alternative calibration file then your 'adjustments' are not being saved between prints.

It's a common mistake.
