One of the key takeaways here is that "China" isn't just some gray mass that pumps out faceless products (like many of us living in West instictively might think), but there are actual human beings developing the products. 😅

Bambu had issues with A1 and recalled/fixed and moved forward. Qidi (my pick) had issues with 3dplus and max and recalled and fixed and moved forward. I hope this trend of customer care continues with Creality also.

I've had my K1 Max now for about a month, and it has been amazing! I rooted it within the first week, and it is so versatile. Love the AI detection, as it has saved me wasted filament on a couple of prints due to adhesion issues due to wrong settings. Having it be open source, and not a closed system, was a big selling point for me over getting an X1C, as well as the larger build volume. I've done a lot of upgrades to it, and have made it my own, with the smaller pulleys sitting on my desk for my next mod. It came with the updated extruder, and hardened steel nozzle, which I quickly swapped out for a .6mm nozzle. I've printed PA-6 Carbon no problems, as well ABS and ASA with relatively little issues. Can't wait to get another! lol

This is a very important video for every potential K1 buyer. Because of all those issues and the price I got the Flashforge Adventurer 5M instead which also was cheaper. Don´t forget the K1C has still a smaller print surface. 220x220 vs 256x256

Got my K1 mid Jan, no problems extruding, running a lot of ABS, a few mods, top riser, filament runout relocation, and i feed out of a drybox beside the printer. Door is still loose!!! But i haven’t had a problems with that. Swapped the nozzle for a hardened unit and am printing ABS CF with no problems. Oh and i am using double sided pei build plate..

This has me interested. I’m comparing between Creality and Bambu for my printer upgrade. Having the software unlocked out the box is a big deal. I unlocked so much performance from my Ender 3 v2 when I converted it to Klipper but lost the use of the local screen.

Agreed. It's not the K1 we wanted but its the K1 we deserved (in the first place). I got 2 versions of the K1. 1st Version (do not own): Launch Version; The BAD K1 that everyone hears about. Bad aluminum internals extruder, bad hotend, bad alignment and leveling, easily hit by the cable chain WEAK filament engagement switch, 2nd Version (Purchased Aug 2023) had a STEEL (POLISHED SWITCH) Extruder and stronger filament gear switch . It had BLACK silcone covered hotend that had bad thermistor connection that would fail and throw a Error 004 (went throw 3 of them in 2 months before they sent CURRENT Hotend available for K1 and K1 Max. 3rd Version (Purchased Nov 2023) had New Redesigned extruder with better filament path through the extruder (UNPOLISHED SWITCH and NON Unicorn Nozzle) and tighter switch (Now used in the V3 Core XZ). It also now comes with the redesigned RED Silcone covered Hotend with better thermistor connection (These are current Replacements being sold everywhere for K1 and K1 Max). 4th Version (do not own (yet)) SEEMS to be the K1C. I am not seeing any of the K1C upgrades on the newest one I have (3rd Gen).

A good review, thanks!

I received a new K1C on April 9th, 2024 and had issues with the AI camera until I turned off the first layer detection as that is a LIDAR thing and K1C doesn't have LIDAR. You only want the first switch on and then it will detect things popping off the plate or squirting a rat's nest. So only the first switch needs to be on, the other 2 are for LIDAR. I can't find a retrofit kit for LIDAR on the K1C but I would love to have it.

Love your videos!

Great review. Only printer that I’ve had was an Anycubic mega x. It works flawlessly. It’s just slow. I wanted to print carbon fiber so I went with K1C. About 100 hrs so far. Zero problems. Extremely fine detailed flawless 3d prints. I was worried after I decided to buy after reviewing some reviews or Creality. Turns out I made a lucky choice and it’s extremely fast. Would you please do reviews of 3 d scanners? Thanks

Thanks for the review! Looks like next time I'm considering a new printer, Creality will be on the table again. It does look like they're trying to do things differently than they used to. Although it is annoying that all of the quick swap designs so far have been proprietary, rather than coming together to come up with a standard.

Just how close a look did you take at this printer? They withdrew the marketing about all metal extruder some time back, as it isn't. I also thought the pulleys on the K1C are smaller, not larger and that bed cant really be called flat can it? Have you tried it at different temps to see just how much it distorts with temp?

Https://jle.vi/polymaker is the best out there as far as I’m concerned.

ive just recently got a p1s from bambu lab with the ams an its completely changed my expectation from my printers, the p1s was the 13th printer to my collection but everything about it was better than my older machines an its made me realize how much 3d printing has advanced in the past 5 yrs, i knew they had gotten faster but the ease of use of the machines has gotten alot better from what im used to using so im looking at selling off some of my older machines an replacing them with some new machines, ive never been someone who picked a brand an stuck with it but i do have 3 creality machines ender 3 3 max and ender 5 an i ended up with 2 flsun qq-s pro but the rest was gotten because of the differences from what i already had but at this point delta and corexy is going to be my picks, an the new creality ender 3 v3 corexy bed slinger is one id like to try an i had considered the k1 but went with bambu lab p1s instead and im so glad i did but at the same time that k1 max is really tempting an does deal with my biggest complaint about the p1s and thats build volume, thats become something i have to have for alot of the stuff i make so at least a 300x300 build plate for a bambu lab printer would def be my next buy if they release something like that b4 i buy another machine. i never was a big prusa guy either but that new prusa xl looks really nice but i dont know if multiple tool heads would be worth the money for me when something like the ams is available, i dont know how well the mmu work from prusa now but i know when it first came out i read alot of ppl having issues, but if they've worked out all of the bugs for it i wouldn't mind trying one of there multicolor setups with a mk4 or xl with a single tool head cause i cant really see any good reason to spend 500 bux for a 2nd tool head but im def going to check out some of these newer printers.

I do wonder how it compares to the K1 Max. Because do want a bigger build volume tho.

Am I required to connect this printer to my WiFi network like Bambu lab printers, or I can use it offline? I might be buying one soon.

I am in the market for either a Qidi plus3 (or perhaps max) or a K1Max. Can anyone comment if the outlined K1"C" redesign features been incorporated into the K1 Max (or should I expect a K1 Mac C?)

Looking past the k1c, I never knew that smooth bed sheets can be torn up by petg and stuff. I have had a smooth bed on my prusa mk3s+ for like a year now (cus I'm too broke to get a diffrent one, lol) and I printed petg and asa on it, and besides one asa print getting stuck to it and having to use a razor to remove it, I never had any other problems 🤔. Although it is very much not good for flexible filament, I had to use a glue stick for those to stick

Hmm... awesome review!! I recently bought myself a Flashforge adventurer 5m pro on Amazon as my experience with creality in the past has left a lot to be desired. I wonder if maybe I should have given this printer a chance. But then again, the Flashforge just works great right out of the box. I like the fact that creality has granted root access, though.. I am still trying to figure out how to install klipper on the flashforge as the klipper Flashforge provides is just a standard klipper file set.

The K1 Max doesn't use its lidar for bed leveling, it uses it for pressure advance and flow calibration... relatively poorly I might add. I believe the biggest issue with the k1 series on first layer issues is doing a bed mesh too early while the bed is still heating up and warping as a result. The thin aluminum plate on the k1 and k1max tends to change quite a bit as it heats up, and even at temp needs a few minutes to finish soaking.

It does it from the firmware i guess. Even a normal k1 with latest firmware moves to that spot, probes and whipes the nozzle. At least mine does. It probes because if you don't have the brush it simple whipes the nozzle slowly on the buildplate and that actualy does take some debries of the nozzle.

Chep had warping issues with the K1 Max as well and it seemed to be the smooth bed surface (A Plate) not having a good enough grip for large scale models. Swapping to a textured PEI bed (B Plate) off Amazon seemed to have fixed it if I remember correctly.

What do you think of it in comparison to the P1S without the AMS? They are about the same price and I'm not sure which one to go with.

The K1C probes for the brush before it tries to rub anything on it. I haven’t tested it because I still only own the one build plate, but I imagine that if it doesn’t detect a brush it might not try to clean the nozzle on it.

@ravb.7700

That is right. If the brush is not there, it will not try to clean the tip. I tested this and that is the case. The brush is just stuck on the build plate using some double sided tape. It will work lose after a while. I found a model where you can glue the brush onto, screw into the printer and then use other build plates.

I don't think they have the quality control part dialed in yet (or maybe they never will) as I see half of the reviews of K1C (all very recent) on their website had some significant issues. Good thing that K1C was unobtanium a couple weeks ago when I was considering it, so I went with P1S AMS combo. I have a feeling I would be one of those 'lucky' people who got faulty units if I had ordered the K1C.

Build volume is a bit underwhelming. Can you do a review in the Two Trees Sk1?

i found out that the k1 camara doe's not work on mailsail it works in fluidd in the camara you need to type creailty in the camara so it works i have np with my K1 just had the new hinges from the k1C mine running perfect from new did have a bed leveling issue where the bed was off slant i sent the bed to the bottom and forced it to level now it perfect level.

I have a later K1, which I managed to purchase for only £360 pounds, in time limited deals, direct from them! A whole lot less than any bambu XY printer. The new extruder design has been fine, no issues, other than one, when I ran a temperature torture test one time, it jammed and had to clean the nozzle (since replaced to a new one) so even that was not extruder really. The only issue I find, is that the filament is awkward to load in sometimes. Tried all sorts of different cuts, but in the end, as long as I cut/file a point on the end, it normally loads without having to release the bowden tube. Never have any bed sticking issues, though I do use 3d lac, mainly so I don't have to clean the bed each time, I might go 10 prints out more, and just give a light dusting each time. For disclosure, I also have the use of a Bambu X-Carbon, with AMS, which is a great machine. A real work horse, with the AMS, which is brilliant. But.... I just love my K1, it works, I can mess around with it, I've added all the whistles and bells, filters, camera etc, and it does everything I ask of it.

I've been printing with the Creality K1C for 1 month, and I really haven't had any printing problems. But I was having problems with the filament xd it took me a while to get a good configuration

I got spooked with my K1 Max and returned it after it dugged into the bed so hard. I bet they are doing a lot better but it took some time for them to fix the issue with an update.

Thank You for all of your content. I enjoy your video's. You have a nice studio and produce quality content. I do need to correct you on 1 thing though. Creality's first Core X,Y printer was actually the Ender 6 to the best of my knowledge. This was long before Bambu was even a dream. If anything - Bambu copied the Ender 6 and less known Ender 7 or Voron printers. The Ender 6 came from the factory 90% enclosed also with an available tophat to make it fully enclosed. I have one myself that is pretty heavily modified. Linear Rails and direct drive extruder. The Ender 6 was before the big Klipper craze. Also before input shaping was available in the consumer / off the shelf 3D printer hobby. The Ender 6 shipped with Marlin firmware and also suffers from VFA's.

Hey Jonathan! Seriously great video! I just posted a video today actually where I show a work around on how you can avoid using Creality Print slicer with the v3 and K1C! It works with basically any slicer and you get access to the web UI again! Im not just tryin to advertise myself though.. I noticed Creality also only sent a single sided build plate with the v3 but it didnt even come with a wiper! I think that Is like my main beef with the v3... I hate having to constantly clean that filament wipe spot. Just doesnt make sense to me for them to do the v3 like that the way they did with the wiper. with the v3 they had the perfect bedslinger kinematic for a MMU also. Not sure why they didnta wait on that tbh. I predict that a larger sized ender 3 v3 is going to be coming out soon, the v3 max and then shortly after that the creality MMU will be out. Mark my words

I would like to see more information about noise while printing in different speeds and with different materials. With the current developments in the 3D printer space, noise becomes an issue for those of us that can't afford a seperate room for 3D printing or are otherwise sensitive to noise. Thanks!

I bought the first gen of the K1 and I had those underextrusion problems. I'm not ready to print on the K1 with CF but I just bought a X1C to use those expensive filaments. There's not any company that manufactures an alternative to the garbage of the extruder. I have the third extruder gen bought with my own money because Creality sent me the "second gen" and I had the same S clogs. Greetings from Spain.

Is there a reason you've not looked at the K1 Max? Is it just that Creality hasn't sent you one? Because the Carbon Fibre focus of the K1C didn't draw me in over the Max. Though that cold swappable nozzle is a nice touch the Max doesn't have.

Am I the only one who wonder about the buildplate issues in 3D printing. Because still after several years of printing on the first bed of my sidewinder x1, i never had a problem with to less or to high first layer adhesion. Or am I just lucky with this particular build plate? The only thing i have to take care is the right temperature of the bed. So far i printed pla, pla+, petg and tpu. I also printed a few parts from abs successfully but I would not recommend this because this hotend is not built for it but the build plate did just fine. So the question is why we don't see this kind of build plate everywhere?

I have been a Creatily customer for 5 years and while it is nice to be able to customize everything, sometimes a simple solution is the best. I recently bought a bambu x1 carbon and have to say, it feels like a different thing. I have had so many creatily printers and bambu really did something special. It feels like Microsoft vs Apple again. Windows tries really hard but fails and stumbles so many times to get there, while Apple just puts stuff out there that works.

Where do you buy your bambu printers in Israel as they don't ship directly?

I haven’t bought a printer from them they were all free

I love seeing Jerry in the video, shout out to 3D printhouse

I wonder if the desire to use open source firmware (Kevin's Klipper3d, Marlin, etc) will go away if the printer just works. If you're not into the hobby of the printer itself (ala reprap), and just need the prints, then it won't matter. Similar to drone software, if DJI has everything you need, you won't want to load Ardupilot/Pixhawk (PX4), etc.

The Ai detection issues and others follow a Creality trend of releasing things in firmware that don't work. Would have thought they'd learned better from the initial K1 being released with firmware features that were broken. Will be interesting to see how the Phrozen ACRO stacks up to this and the P1S.

I've bought a K1 Max last week, and received it with the smaller pulleys, unicorn nozzle and magnetic door outlines. So far, so good. Oh, and it came with a warped bed too. 🙄

K1C-976A - Creality takes a step back, my doors fly as they please. Also the hotend gets clogged on average once every 15h. The JST connector from the thermistor is well glued until it can't be disconnected, it's just a shame that the pins of the female socket are not crimped and the whole socket falls out of the plate.... I'm waiting for the service response....

I have watched some reviewers saying Creality "stole" some open source code not respecting the OSS license, but here you say that they in fact did and publish the full source code, I wonder why there is this conflicting information around?

I am literally about to buy one of these 2 printers... This video is assisting in that choice very much so...

The open firmware is great. So I think my old faithful highly modified ender 3 pro will me replaced😊. Thanks for the review

Update I just got my printer and it is, very god and a world apart from my old ender 3. And the only negative things that I can point to is the spool placement, and the placement of the runout sensor mount, no file for a good side mount bracket, but I will just design one. And the lid also need a little opgrade with some riser. But very good, quick and easy to use printer, almost to easy to use.

My Creality business model theory: It is cheaper to over charge or build in return shipping/customer service gaslighting into cost to build, and not have to pay a QC department. They use cheap labor for Manufacturing, Sales/Customer gas-lighting and Shipping. Then have the customer do the run-in QC for them, and roll the dice on people missing the return window gaining a higher non-return of bad printers. I got 2 bad "new" k1's out of the box off Amazon and 1 bad refurbished from Creality Official Refurbished (refurb, thinking I was beating the repair times since both my others came non-functional... that idea failed. It came with no screen and they could not get me a screen). I have one half failed benchy to show for 2 months of my time and 3 Creality printers. I guess KZreadrs only get shipped the "working" ones to bait the rest of us.

Please stop calling the k1c open source. They still aren't comliant with the GPL. Various klipper modules are shipped in cpython in binary form.

Nice informative video, i am a little bemused by the fact that everyone thinks that we should pay to advertise their channel or product, this should be your cost not ours!

Hey Jonathan big fan of your videos, I think you should do the announce of you next clip in the same take, then add the clip when you say the next scene, everything in one take, let the editing do the job. The "extruder woes" and announce of different sections of your video are kinda too forced.

So do you have an update? I want to buy one over the P1S because I really like the open source project and SOME tinkering. I just had a bad experience with a Ender 3 v3 KE though and I also want to print consistently

So far so good! No complaints actually.

Has there been an upgrade to the K1C? Your review kinda contradicts many of the other K1C reviews.

I tried 2 machines. 1 had missing parts in the extruder the other had heating issues.

That was about par for the course with the original K1.

But which printer would you send your print to if both were available and ready to print, Bambu or Creality?

Ummm right now probably creality because my AMSes are always giving me trouble and my Bambu’s are always demanding maintenance like cleaning ccameras

Creality because I don't and never will buy from abusive, closed source companies that bribe and blackmail reviewers and throw around NDAs like Bambu and Apple.

It wasn't their first corexy pinter, they had the ender6 and ender7

You forgot the Ender 4 (as has Creality)

How’s the bed mesh on the k1c? I heard it’s just as bad as the k1 and your mesh isn’t that great

i agree with creality k1 series is better than bambulab but creality printers dont have ams

Creality has done CoreXY before this, my Ender 6 is one such example.

@trugbilddrachen

Also ender 7

I’m not sure this is the printer for me, but it at least gives me some hope that we’ll see open source models approaching the polished of the Bambu Labs machines in a year or two.

P1S with hardened gears and ObXidian nozzle. That's what I am running and it's been great. I wouldn't go to a K1 because I wouldnt be able to run an E3D nozzle. Also, longevity and Creality have not been in the same sentence.

My K1C doesn‘t have more friction on the door hinges. It’s as loose as the original K1.

Odd…

Creality has definitely been making some good progress with their offerings as of late, now they just need to learn how to phase out older versions of things there are barely different than the newer renditions..
