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

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

Ask this on a Bambu sub and you are gonna get completely different answers. I think creality ain’t a terrible first printer because there is always something wrong and something that needs fixin. I had a ender 3 then a K1 which I had so many problems with hotend extruder mainboard it all broke. Then

Ender is great for learning because it gives you a solid base for printer diagnostics. After that, move to pretty much any other brand. Bambu is probably the best out of the box, though I’ve only used Creality, Bambu, and Snapmaker. The Snapmaker U1 has been fine. A few little hiccups, but nothing m

It's a mixed bag. On paper the Sparkx i7 does have a lot of advantages over the A1. Larger build area, usable camera (60fps), open source klipper firmware, etc.. The issues with Creality printers in general is they have a poor out of box experience. A lot of users experience QA issues that have to b
