I wish they would just fix all the current printers and stop with all these new releases. This ia just carbon copy of the A1 under as new creality name, and they use customers as beta testers. I have a K1 , K1 max that i have to tinker with to make work and a Ender 3 v3 Se that was my kids xmas gift

Im not saying Creality is perfect, they are not. I have 6 Creality 3d Printers, the oldest is my K1 Max, just about 2 years old, nothing major has broken, original unicorn hotend, original extruder etc. nothing major. Had to replace the Hotend PCB , because i fucked up, broke the lidar connector. I

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

Yeah my own. Its a Creality K1 Max with some tweaks to keep it running ok. Its a bit dated by now. You mostly just need a printer with a 30x30x30 build volume (estimated, ill measure everything up later). So slightly on the larger side. Or break it up in more pieces yourself if you have a smaller pr

Found this thread via google I know it’s a bit older. I got a K1 max end of last year in October 25 used for 450€ included the sunlu S4 dryer. I got a lot of hussle with it especially with the X axis vibrations. At the moment it runs I changed belts, extruder and nozzle. The counter said 330hr but I

cara nem é isso, é por passar tanto tempo resolvendo os problemas da k1max e da k1c que bateu essa loucura, mas talvez não faça sentido sair do ecossistema da creality mesmo

I'm printing in creality filament on my k2 vs the bambu On bambu. The quality is apparent with any embossed details or holes. They ghost less on the bambu out of the box. Otherwise they're both fully successful at printing as they should. The creality support never responded outside of ai faq prompt

I got the P2S combo in addition to a K1 max from Creality. It’s a good printer if it’s run (the K1 max) but I needed so often to replace things or manually adjust because they are bad produced that I decided to get a P2S to get things running even when I maintain the K1 max. I got now 900hr since No

I posted on another thread but I think from my experience you may find creality is a good choice as well. I had problems with my K1 max over the 2 years I owned it. At times it printed perfectly but at time it was abysmal. But what I found out just today its all about the slice settings. I tweaked m

Long time Creality user here. None of the printers of any brand are going to be 100%. I have just as much trouble with my Bambu as I do with my K1, K1 Max, and K2 Plus. A lot of it boils down to user issues or not understanding what you are doing. Also there are a lot of consumables and maintenance
