K1 Max

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

Qidi seems like they're still figuring things out, especially design wise. Due to my experiences with Creality (12 heavily modified Ender 3s + K1 Max), and watching them rush printers to the market to seem like they can compete with Bambu.... It would take something really special for me to ever eve

I can see why you have frustrations. Both my K1M’s had 2k+ print hours before I started modding them. Tuning took a while on them before modding, but once dialed in - print results were great. Modding is a black hole that I may never climb out of - I’ve tried 6-7 different hotends, BCJ linear rail s

I second almost all of these points. I ordered my C1L from PrintedSolid and liked that it was assembled in the US. Got it last week which was a 3 week delivery time so they beat the 4-6 weeks lead time they had posted. I can’t compare to a bambu labs machine, I don’t like their cloud restrictions so

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

Welcome welcome! I, too, am an Ender 3 survivor. While the experience of building it and dealing with all the fiddley settings was valuable, I can say that I have had my Bambu X1C for a year now and only now is it politely asking me to perform maintenance on it. And it still works better than my Cre

I’m glad I didn’t hold out for the CFS-C for my 2nd printer and just bought a 2nd CFS v1 with extruder upgrade kit. What’s clear is that software and firmware isn’t a strong point. It took some effort to get the CFS working with OrcaSlicer and playing with KAMPS nicely. If you’re prepared to do the

Mine ate its teeth the other day, so I printed a little adapter that glues into the original connectors socket and allows you to use better quality screw in connectors. Used this file: https://www.printables.com/model/1188175-creality-k1-max-extruder-ptfe-tube-holder-adapter

Yo iría por la A1, las he visto durar mucho más con mucho menos mantenimiento dentro de lo que es la comunidad y la calidad es muy superior a las Creality, la V3 nunca tuve y no creo que sea mala máquina pero la facilidad de uso y la dureza de la A1 ayuda mucho, tiene más sensores para detectar erro

For less than $3,000 you can get an H2C and ams which is an awesome dual nozzle printer or an H2S for single color but hey you said no Bambu so just get yourself Qidi Q2. I don’t know what you have against Bambu but the H2S is your best choice for a large build volume that is quieter with the that s
