I want to hear about your CFS upgrade

I got it about a month ago. I upgraded my K1 Max, upgrade went text book. Firmware upgraded correctly. I've re-installed the helper script (I'm a linux admin, so I could work around the issues it was having). I've got moonraker/mail sail installed but currently using creality print because it talks

Now that's a Proper Bambu! Using a BTT Mobo

Qidi seems like they're still figuring things out, especially design wise. Due to my experiences with Creality (12 heavily modified Ender 3s + K1 Max), and watching them rush printers to the market to seem like they can compete with Bambu.... It would take something really special for me to ever eve

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

K1 Max or Ender 5 Max?

If you don’t need the 400mm build area, I’d probably go with the K1Max. Enclosed, wider availability of aftermarket parts. I picked up an E5M for $480 and don’t regret it. Been adapting the 8 color Ender 3 V3 CoPrint kit from Creality’s website for it. It’s been a fun project.

Kauf beratung

Ich habe mir letztes Jahr einen Creality K1 Max gekauft, mit dem ich weiterhin sehr zufrieden bin. Der hat nochmal deutlich mehr Bauvolumen als der Cobra S1, nämlich 300x300x300 mm³ und ist auch kinderleicht zu bedienen. Meinen habe ich direkt vom Creality Refurbished EU Store auf eBay als "85% refu

Found these in my "new" refurbished k1

If this was a refurbished unit from Creality, give it a real good once over checking for loose screws and parts that may be damaged. Whoever they have working on the printers to "refurbish" them have no clue on what they are doing. I purchased 3 K1 MAX printers and all 3 had missing screws or broken

Idiot! I can't believe I wasted a year on this!!!

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

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

I love my CC but...

Yeah giga is a bit too big for my needs. Also from what I've seen it's not a great machine overall. I've had some old creality machines in the past and just got a K1 max which has been giving non stop problems since buying it so I was looking into some other options. The CC has been very reliable so
