I absolutely HATE my Creality K1 Max.

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

Printer recommendations?

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

Any advice before I give up and send it back?

No I'm pretty sure you can. You can definitely root it for klipper and use kamp and moonsail and fluidd and guppy. That's what I do for my k1max. I think you're mistaken. Or have very different understanding of what full klipper means. You may be right, but I've never run into anything limited by cr

Can i put the dxc2 in my k1 Max and make it how do i install it

The K1 Max community has been doing some pretty creative upgrades lately, so there’s a good chance it’s possible with the right mounts and firmware setup. One thing I like about Creality printers is how moddable they’ve become compared to older generations.

I want to hear about your CFS upgrade

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

Should I get a new bed?

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

I want to hear about your CFS upgrade

I use a lid riser from printables (https://www.printables.com/model/997948-k1-max-vented-riser-with-closable-vents-and-hygrom) I modified the back segment to let the PTFE tube through like the K2 does, and then it follows the chain again so my lid works fine. I can upload my model and some photos if

Is it worth upgrading from an Ender 3 V3 KE to a Bambu Lab A1 Combo?

It really is a personal decision because everyone uses their printers differently. Some use it as a business, some just make little fidget toys, some create their own models in blender or fusion or onshape or tinkercad and print them out. Some use it for cosplay and have speed and size needs so its

Kaufberatung für Anfänger

Honestly, if you want: large build volume relatively low maintenance easy printing and an open ecosystem then every option will involve some compromise. K1 Max: very fast and relatively mature now, but still a Creality machine — sometimes great, sometimes frustrating. Good if you like tinkering a li

CFS-C is a completely trash, please help

Si tu impresora es segunda mano, anterior a 2025 debes actualizarle esto. La placa del hotend y el hotend con boquilla unicorn, ya que cuando creality lanzo la k1c llevó esas actulizaciones a la k1max por lo que en realidad hoy estas comprando una k1c max, ya que las maquinas anteriores a 2025 son c
