Just kinda over it.

Im not saying Creality is perfect, they are not.

Had to replace the Hotend PCB , because i fucked up, broke the lidar connector. I

Am I looking for a printer that doesn't exist?

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

Uneven squishing even after autocalibration, K1-SE

check the bed mesh, it’s probably not level and the probe can only compensate so much. you can print bed shims that will even it out to fix this, i did it on mine and the bed variance went from 1mm to .3mm with much cleaner first layers https://www.printables.com/model/681528-bed-shims-fits-creality

Does building a Voron make sense in 2026

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.

Blob of death

Microswiss flowtech. Even if you don't use the microswiss nozzles, the hotend itself is a decent upgrade and has far less issues and much easier to clean off, if you get the blob of death again. https://store.micro-swiss.com/collections/micro-swiss-flowtech/products/micro-swiss-flowtech-hotend-for-c

Need recommendations for a printer for my wife

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

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

How fast is Creality shipping for a printer in the U.S.?

Creality is pretty good at shipping. I think the worst I have every had was two weeks to PA but that was when the K1Max first came out and they were popular.
