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

New resonance tester
Done for the night, backported mainline sweeper code, kalico quality of life adjustments.... and if you know what your looking at in the console, you know lol had to create a separate .py to house the smooth shapers from bleeding edge, a separate worker thread to keep them and reduce the resolution

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

My detailed K1C + CFS-C review
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

Creality k1 klipper 0.13
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

K1Max only printing first layer
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

Bed mesh good, but first layer is still terrible on my K1 Max.
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
