P1s/p2s - x1c outter layer

This is a mechanical issue, i had this issue with a Creality machine, it ended up being something to do with the vibration compensation and when you're printing too slow... very very weird but it does add up when I think back to my ender days with the sonic pad. When we went too slow eith the vibrat

Help me please

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

K2 Pro issues and I really need help

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

3D Printer Buyers Nightmare

Since he hasn't replied, allow me. I have a K1 max. It's a pile of junk. If you need convincing, google creality first layer problems. The stock bed is pretty much trash. My lead screws are already worn with less than 100 hours. Ringing. VFAs. The works. I spend more time fixing it than using it.

It seems that the bed levelling correction on the K1 MAX isn’t working at all. I tried desperately to fix it by sticking aluminium tape to the plate and turning the knobs, but none of that had any effect. Why on earth is Creality leaving this unresolved? I simply cannot understand it. In any case, I

Confused on what to get

My Ender-5 Max had issues with the hotends leaking. Happened to me twice. It’s apparently a design flaw that a lot of people experience. Anyway, the common fix is to take a Creality Hi or K2 Plus hotend, swap the heatsink, and cut a piece of very common copper refrigerator tube. Converts the hotend

K1Max only printing first layer

Interesting. The K1Max allegedly has 8GB memory so I doubt it's a size issue of "running out of memory". I wonder if it was an issue with retracting after the layer and then failing to extrude, but that would be a more obvious problem. "Software glitch" seems to be the logical explanation. I have ha

K1 Max update 2.3.5.34

Meines achtens tauchte diese Version am 30.12.2025 auf...hab ich mit ein schmunzeln begrüßt und dachte nur an den Bildschirm am Drucker, dieser immer wieder dunkler wurde und schließlich einfror, und tastete natürlich auf runterladen. Selbsttest alles in Ordnung...aber dann...Probedruck...Katastroph

Anyone has issue with latest update of Fluidd?

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

Bed mesh good, but first layer is still terrible on my K1 Max.

I have a K1 Max with CFS. Gaining root access doesn’t mess up the CFS. I have Fluidd and KAMP installed. I have the same first layer issues as you with PETG. It was all fine until I upgraded to the .34 firmware. For the time being I’ve stopped using the printer. I’ve got some cleaning filament I’m g
