K1 Max

check the bed mesh, it’s probably not level and the probe can only compensate so much. you can print bed shims that will even it out to fix this, i did it on mine and the bed variance went from 1mm to .3mm with much cleaner first layers https://www.printables.com/model/681528-bed-shims-fits-creality

My K1Max drilled a square in my plate at the start of a gridfiinty bin print. Luckily I stopped it doing what happened to yours. Also under warranty. Last I heard from Creality was they will replace the "strain gauge and adjustment plate". Not the build plate though as it is older than 3 months and

This happened to me too. I started a print, then canceled the print before it finished calibrating. Made a minor change and sent the new job to print and it damaged my plate exactly as in OP's photo. Thought it was a random failure and stopped using the printer until I got a replacement plate. Happe

I’ve had my K1C a few months now. I run it stock with a CFS and no issues. The bed isn’t large enough to have serious bed issues. I rooted my K1 Max due to a buggy firmware update. It took a while to figure out what was out of whack. Large beds are more prone to uneven warping. I run Moonraker, Flui

I got it about a month ago. I upgraded my K1 Max, upgrade went text book. Firmware upgraded correctly. I've re-installed the helper script (I'm a linux admin, so I could work around the issues it was having). I've got moonraker/mail sail installed but currently using creality print because it talks

That doesn’t look bad at all, but these beds warp differently depending on the temperature. Because of this, the factory bed leveling doesn’t work properly. If you hven’t already, root the printer and you can level the bed at the temperatures you are actually printing, use kamp and you shouldn’t hav

So 0.13 klipper still has not merged the final pieces of the load cells stuff, even when it does it wont matter because the load cells stuff requires scipy which is not available for the k1 series at all. There is a hardware mod and a klipper fork you can use to try and use the load cells with open

My machine is only 7 months old. I still want to get my >£500 worth of use out of it. When it starts costing unreasonable amounts of money to use, I will leave the Creality world. I've done my "apprenticeship" for years with a 3v2. I had a warranty claim with that and Creality were amazing. The K1Ma

I've done this mod on the k1Max. I did reset it and redo the bed leveling by retensioning the z axis belts as recommended by creality.

I have a K1 Max with CFS. Gaining root access doesn’t mess up the CFS. I have Fluidd and KAMP installed. I have the same first layer issues as you with PETG. It was all fine until I upgraded to the .34 firmware. For the time being I’ve stopped using the printer. I’ve got some cleaning filament I’m g
