K1 Max

Say what you will about Prusa, but my Mini+ that is nearly 6 years old and still receives firmware updates including input shaping shows the long term value. Bambu started in 2022, I think, so it still has to prove itself long term. Not saying it isn't any good. If I wanted reliability today VS my C

Build the Trident. That's the design that the Chinese companies copied and reproduced with the cheapest parts avaliable. But it is nowhere near the same cost. Doing a triple Z on a K series only requires three 20T pulleys, three motors, and three closed loop GT2 belts, and probably mucking about wit

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

Love my A1. Yes it's a closed ecosystem, but so is Apple, and the iPhone is doing just fine. The A1 is an unbox, auto calibrate and start printing printer. I get why people don't like the company, but their printers just work. I also have an H2D and a Creality K1 Max. I don't even use the K1 much an

I have a Kobra S1 and a Creality K1 Max. I’ve never had major problems with either. I use the S1 for multicolor prints, K1 Max gets used for fast prototyping, single color, and more exotic materials. I like both of them a lot. Main gripe with K1 Max is the bed warp issues, but I rooted, installed ma

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.

I just went through all these same issues with my k1 max upgrade. So many small changes needed from ptfe tube, orca slicer printer codes, new cfs extruder and cut module, and cfs feeder/splicer jamming and feeding wrong. Finally still working 80% of the time with Minor ghost feeding and retracting w

Coming out a a Creality k1 max I picked up an a1 mini from a friend as I wanted to see if it was as good as people make them out to be. Yep. I have a P2S and it’s a great machine. To be fair I also have a Core One which has been great as well. The amount of hours I wasted on troubleshooting that Cre

Mine is rooted just fine, though I have not yet updated to the latest firmware, as I saw quite a few with issues with it. As the creator I may be considered biased. but these two upgrades made a huge difference on my printer in quality and noise.I have not seen any other tube/chain mods quite like m

The stock bed also turned taco for me once i started printing engineering filaments. I would recommend the r3men graphite bed, many advantages. You can read about it here: https://www.r3men.com/products/graphite-heated-bed-for-creality-k1-max
