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

This is a mechanical issue, i had this issue with a Creality machine, it ended up being something to do with the vibration compensation and when you're printing too slow... very very weird but it does add up when I think back to my ender days with the sonic pad. When we went too slow eith the vibrat

This is the best answer. I loved my K1 Max until I installed the CFS kit. For me it was the worst money I ever spent. After fighting for a few months and spending more time troubleshooting than printing, I've sold my K1 and CFS last week and will never buy anything from Creality again.

Interesting. The K1Max allegedly has 8GB memory so I doubt it's a size issue of "running out of memory". I wonder if it was an issue with retracting after the layer and then failing to extrude, but that would be a more obvious problem. "Software glitch" seems to be the logical explanation. I have ha

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

Little green check box on the screen that pops up when you hit Send Print. Same screen you will select the printer and your color with a CFS, little button says Calibration. When checked it will do a bed level calibration at the specified temp for the filament. Don't use the Generic setting for any

Since he hasn't replied, allow me. I have a K1 max. It's a pile of junk. If you need convincing, google creality first layer problems. The stock bed is pretty much trash. My lead screws are already worn with less than 100 hours. Ringing. VFAs. The works. I spend more time fixing it than using it.

It seems that the bed levelling correction on the K1 MAX isn’t working at all. I tried desperately to fix it by sticking aluminium tape to the plate and turning the knobs, but none of that had any effect. Why on earth is Creality leaving this unresolved? I simply cannot understand it. In any case, I

My Ender-5 Max had issues with the hotends leaking. Happened to me twice. It’s apparently a design flaw that a lot of people experience. Anyway, the common fix is to take a Creality Hi or K2 Plus hotend, swap the heatsink, and cut a piece of very common copper refrigerator tube. Converts the hotend

It's a mixed bag. On paper the Sparkx i7 does have a lot of advantages over the A1. Larger build area, usable camera (60fps), open source klipper firmware, etc.. The issues with Creality printers in general is they have a poor out of box experience. A lot of users experience QA issues that have to b
