K1 Max

Im not saying Creality is perfect, they are not. I have 6 Creality 3d Printers, the oldest is my K1 Max, just about 2 years old, nothing major has broken, original unicorn hotend, original extruder etc. nothing major. Had to replace the Hotend PCB , because i fucked up, broke the lidar connector. I

Most modern printers will give you what you’re looking for. With regards to print settings, the most hands off option is usually sticking with a brand and their own filament. I bought a Creality K1 Max over a year ago and for the most part printed just fine using Creality filament and Creality’s def

Love my A1. Yes it's a closed ecosystem, but so is Apple, and the iPhone is doing just fine. The A1 is an unbox, auto calibrate and start printing printer. I get why people don't like the company, but their printers just work. I also have an H2D and a Creality K1 Max. I don't even use the K1 much an

Vorons are fantastic printers. I built a v2 LDO kit and loved it so much that I got a v0 ldo kit as well for rapid prototyping, and I'm in the process of rebuilding my v2 to be a stealthchanger with 6 toolheads. you can tinker and mod and do whatever you want with them and stock they are fantastic.

Coming out a a Creality k1 max I picked up an a1 mini from a friend as I wanted to see if it was as good as people make them out to be. Yep. I have a P2S and it’s a great machine. To be fair I also have a Core One which has been great as well. The amount of hours I wasted on troubleshooting that Cre

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

Bambu has put a lot of work into their product, but they really want to lock you into their ecosystem. If that doesn't bother you then it might be a good choice. Personally I like Creality and have two K1MAX printers that I run the living daylights out of on a regular basis. If someone is just start

I run Orcaslicer on my CachyOS with good performance and not any issues except from when i try to go into the device tab in the slicer on my when having my profile set to the Creality K1 Max and the launcher just crashes. but other then that it works great ! :) the only thing i gotta do to get the s

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

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
