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

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.

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

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

that sounds more like a first layer calibration or slicer issue than hardware. the creality k1 max is usually very consistent once the first layer is dialed in. i'd recheck z-offset and first layer flow, maybe re-slice the file too. creality machines tend to lock in really well after small adjustmen

LiberNovo ergonomic chairI spend a ton of time in my chair, this was expensive but worth every penny. I adjusted the back piston thing to be perfect and took the battery out of the chair so I wouldn't accidentally push the button. I often sit kinda sideways and the flexible back part gives great sup

I use Creality K1 Max. It's quite good, however I had to tinker with it a bit because the hotbed wasn't flat enough. I still have sight, I use cane because of glaucoma and the fact I often can't see steps or unexpected lamp posts. The machine itself I can manage by feel. The touchscreen interface is
