Still under warranty, think I'll get a new printer or just new parts for the printer?

My K1Max drilled a square in my plate at the start of a gridfiinty bin print. Luckily I stopped it doing what happened to yours. Also under warranty. Last I heard from Creality was they will replace the "strain gauge and adjustment plate". Not the build plate though as it is older than 3 months and

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

k2 vs k1 max comparison

You cant compare these two, they are in vastly different categories and the k1 is very manual in comparison. U see people here spending a week leveling the bed. Note that I am of the new millennium, If I can recommend a machine that cooks for you and feeds you I will do so, I dont see the point in y

Second printbed damaged exactly the same way

This happened to me too. I started a print, then canceled the print before it finished calibrating. Made a minor change and sent the new job to print and it damaged my plate exactly as in OP's photo. Thought it was a random failure and stopped using the printer until I got a replacement plate. Happe

K2 Pro issues and I really need help

Nozzles digging to bed and plates -> sensors not working? I've had this happen back in the day too, with my k1max, i had tinkered with the bed, trying to level it, and those "mods" and adjustments did something to those pressure sensors and those gave out false reading/no reading at all. Quick and d

3D Printer Buyers Nightmare

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

Still under warranty, think I'll get a new printer or just new parts for the printer?

My machine is only 7 months old. I still want to get my >£500 worth of use out of it. When it starts costing unreasonable amounts of money to use, I will leave the Creality world. I've done my "apprenticeship" for years with a 3v2. I had a warranty claim with that and Creality were amazing. The K1Ma

K1 Max update 2.3.5.34

Meines achtens tauchte diese Version am 30.12.2025 auf...hab ich mit ein schmunzeln begrüßt und dachte nur an den Bildschirm am Drucker, dieser immer wieder dunkler wurde und schließlich einfror, und tastete natürlich auf runterladen. Selbsttest alles in Ordnung...aber dann...Probedruck...Katastroph

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
