love your video~ and my K1 Max prints perfect every time and nothing comes unstuck, cant complain apart from this flat image!

Thank you for this review and that it is an update review. I saw this on sale at Microcenter for $429 and of course needed to do some research first. I have the Ender 3 Pro with the BL Touch and cannot get reliable Z Axis Offset results. Thanks to your review, I believe I'll be heading out and getting an upgrade ;)

After all these years and MULTIPLE printer models, I’m surprised that Creality hasn’t released their own version of multi color printer or AMS system. I remember CR-X Dual Color but that is all I remember. I might have missed a release.

Also Sovol has the SV04 IDEX and I think Creality and Sovol are somewhat related. But after the success of the Bambu Lab AMS and the availability of the 3D Chameleon 4 color system to every printer ... it's more than obvious they are currently missing out a chance. But let's face it: Bambu did invest some kind of development to their AMS system and Creality is not known for new developments or upgrading existing printers.

They've hinted that it's in the works. This is why I'm leaning heavily to a k1 max over a bambu, cause it will evenly have a ams type system AND it's 300x300 build size, and that's something you can't change or upgrade over a bambu

How can we know if the printer is the revised edition or not? Is there a build date code on the box? Asking as there is one available locally new in box for a very good price. Thanks

thank you, and thank you for the files,

I think they should make it so you can print more than one color and fix the slicer to where you can edit the settings, use them and not have it crash just because you want to print and make use of the transparent filament we are able to use

I live in Perth Western Australia, I bought a K1 just a few days ago from JayCar Electronics, I have been looking at 3D printers for a few years now, I went to buy a $3 button battery, saw the new range of 3D printers, I asked a lot of questions, the K1 had everything I was looking for in a 3D printer, the price was $819 because of the Black Friday sales still on I got it for $650 which I thought was ok, plus I ended up with a $40 rewards credit.

Did they fix the issue with the top cover? Did they make it higher or do you still feel the need to take it off during printing?

Definitely a novice (6 months, Ender 3 S1 pro) but I’m interested in upgrading to the K1 for speed. Can I still use the Creality slicer with Thingaverse models and a thumb drive like I’m familiar with?

How can I know if the model I'm buying from a store is the new/updated/fixed one or the old one?

hi, first of all, thanks for your video. I am very knowledgeable as a K1 user. but my device is a problematic device. I couldn't find a filament that kept up with your speed, and my projects are always unfinished. and it turns out to be broken. I made and installed the project that entered the 45-degree header that we made at the entrance of the filament pipe. when the left goes to the very back, it bends and crushes the filament pipe, can an improvement be made related to this? otherwise, I will have to remove the part I made .

Software issues kept me from considering this printer. Now that they have opened it up as true open source, and have provided root access, I am seriously considering it. I'd like to see a schematic for the electronics, complete with processor type, and pinouts. If there is enough info to install generic linux and klipper on it, that would be great. However, just being able to fully configure klipper (which it appears is possible under the root access), is probably close enough for me. Was seriously considering building a Voron Trident, but the K1 with root access and all of the new fixes would be much less expensive and close enough.

So I returned it and they pulled another one from stock, but it was also old stock. I ended up getting a refund. I might try again in a few months when all of the old stock units may be out of the supply chain. Creality should have recalled all of the units shipped with the older parts, or extended the 'fre' replacements for all first buyers forever.

you could put something opaque on the side pannels if you don't want to see through them...tape and paper probably is a cheap easy solution

how do you see if you have a updated model ?

I just got a K1 with Black Friday sales, saved $234 on the K1 (paid $375 shipped) and a spool of Hyper PLA from Creality's store & picked up the AI Camera on Amazon for $21!

@dsteele713

Rob, you pick the layer height when you slice the model. It's a tradeoff between speed and finish quality, you'll get a feel for what layer height you want as you use it. Width of the filament has no impact on the layer heights you can do, remember that the filament is melted before your printer lays it down.

@@dsteele713 Got it, thanks. Creality Print only gives two options, high res and standard, 0.1 or 0.2, easy. Apart from orientating the model, auto-adding supports, and selecting the material, petg for example, seems that it then just prints. For petg and pla it seems quite automated. I guess I'll need to check the set-up, run the autolevel, calibrate or whatever, but I'm hoping that'll be about all.... can it be that easy!

Looking forward to seeing more reviews on the Creality K1 Max

Does it work with octoprint?

Thank you so much for the testing. Okay, I got decision that Creality gotta be my next dream 3D printer~

I just bought the K1. After 2 demo prints, I re-sliced a file of mine and it came out almost perfect amd in 1/3rd the time! Whatever improvement they made worked. I was coming from Ender 3 Pro, which I had to babysit nearly all the time to get useable prints. So far, I'm glad I upgraded to the K1. Creality listened to its critics, made some improvements on the hardware, feature set, esthetics, build quality and software. Oh, did I mentioned SPEED! My son was trying to get me to buy the Bambu P1P, but in the end, everything pointed to the K1. Clearly a winner for me.

Is it worth it for 399 as is currently available?

Though K1 has some little problems during use, like the extruder and nozzle and some software errors, but they can be solved easily.

There is a new update creality printer software, please check it a tell us the improvements

G-sensor in the printhead eliminates ringing and ghosting in high-speed prints on the K1. Flawless results every time!

I wish instead of releasing new models of printers, Creality would stick to incremental improvements and quality of parts. I had my extruder break in Ender 3 V2. I've seen a video about K1 that one person had his extruder gears fail. So perhaps parts like that could be made from best quality materials...

Ugh...Microcenter just put this printer on sale for $350. I'm REALLY wanting a Bambu Lab X1C, but kinda waiting on a price break. Strongly considering this to replace my old Ender 3 Pro. What to do...what to do?

@jackthecat6225

7 ай бұрын

They didn't intentionally copy Prusa, there are only so many good architectures for a good printer. If you dive into it it's pretty obvious. Creality had many years to do what Bambu did, but chose not to even when the community continually bombarded them with requests and ideas. Creality is not an innovative company. They have released different versions of basically the very same printer for years whereas Bambu started with a clean sheet. Plus, both the Prusa and the Bambu print cleaner and more consistent than any creality. Is the higher cost enough to offset that small increase in quality? Only you can decide that. If money is riding on it though, people will buy a Prusa or a Bambu, not a creality. I suspect that Bambu is eating into creality's market share.

@LOLMEN-vh6lj

5 ай бұрын

To be Fair, its not just a "small increase in quality", its BIG

So why do people who buy this printer nowadays still complaining about clogging the extruder - what are they doing wrong?

I had an ender v1 and fiddled with that thing so much. I don't think Creality can make a printer that does not need a mod out of the box. On the flip side, they have a great user community though because it's just kind of a thing to mod your Creality which is one reason people like creality. I'm really on the fence with this one. I want it but my brain says no, you will end up tweaking it more than printing with it. Aarrrrggg. They never seemed to have good build quality. Am I nuts?

Just bought it today for $390

to be honest, I prefer fair competition and a transparent markts. hope NO hype and robbots any more....

Anyone here have real experience with the Creality K1 Max?

I would've said the same at first...i felt let down with the bad extruder and unreliable hotend but since creality corrected them i have yet to get a failed print...its actually running as we speak and alot of times it runs overnight so I definitely recommend it now since the prints come out pretty good
