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

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

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

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

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

I have the k1max and it breaks constantly. I have an a1 and a p1s and they’ve only had AMS issues. You’re on a creality sub though so people might be biased. If I had the money id go bambu or prusa over creality every time

Seems to be doable, and relatively easy. I managed to take a quick peak at more closely, and this newest Fluidd might have some issues with Creality, my Klipper load is at ~45%, mcu rpi load is ~210% and system load is ~2-2.2. I had to rely on AI to break those down a bit, but it suggested that ther

If you decide for a bigger printer, do not, I repeat: DO NOT buy a creality K1 Max. I did for exactly this project (I also bought the STLs). The K1Max is a really problematic device. All the best for your project

Can you please give more detailed information about how you installed the CFS-C firmware via SSH. I also have a 2023 K1 Max however I can't get the printer to detect the firmware. I also had the CFS installed however for me, I couldn't get the CFS to work. If you followed a link, video, or anything
